Days End

[byslantedlight]

Rats - it's just not happening, that whole combination of happy and posting. I know I said I was going to do this for 100 days and maybe even keep going after that, but actually I'm finding it a bit constricting this time around - sometimes I want to post about other things that couldn't strictly be called happy, but because I committed to this I felt like it should take priority, and... Well, it can't be good if I'm boring myself... *g*

I'll still try to post every day, but hopefully I'll feel less guilty if I miss a day, go back to enjoying all my icons rather than just the yellow one (*g*), and be more likely to post about different things again. Although I must admit that moving home/job/area might be a strong theme for a few weeks...

For now, here's glimpses of a few happy moments from the last few days - because weather and shining cold, and drifting mist always make me happy!

This morning I was briefly quite excited when I saw this forecast for us on Accuweather... ...although the view out the window didn't make it seem likely, and sure enough, we're still all blue skies (well, with clouds, but definitely not snow clouds)! Hey-ho... Although the gardener (sounds grand, doesn't it, but it's more about how this lot have bitten off much more than they can chew, property-wise...) reckons we're in for a more wintry winter this year - with snow! There might be snow! *looks hopeful*

In the meantime, this weekend is about a visit to relatively local... well, relatives. *g* And hopefully more sorting, ready to move. I can consolidate more, right? It just looks bad cos I bought bits of furniture to fit into this space, but if there's different space to fit into there, then I won't actually still need it/have to find space for it. Right...? Eeep! But yeah, more consolidating. And hopefully also more December preparation of a Pros-y and present-y kind, too!

Reading: The Apprentice Witch by James Nichol
Just read: A Winter's Tale by Trisha Ashley (sometimes there is a great need for happy fluff...)
Avoided reading for bookgroup (after the first couple of dozen pages): Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace (because get over yourself, and also - get a better editor)

Watching: Buffy, because see above need for happy fluff!

Looking forward to: not having to battle with useless storage heaters; more time to live life/write/post/comment/reply to emails etc.

I have nothing particularly sensible to say, but for a very minor Happy - I've recently started slowly watching my way through all the earlier episodes of due South that I'd never seen before, and which are available on youtube. Ever seen any? Definitely would recommend for when you're through with watching Buffy for the moment :-) (my own preference is for the later eps (when RayK replaced RayV), which are technically seasons 3 and 4, but having already seen those I'm enjoying seeing the early ones for the first time).
One needs happy fluff sometimes!

Oh, I do like Due South! That said, I've only ever seen the first series (although maybe a little bit of the second), and I've been meaning to catch up for ages. My only bad is that I suspect I'm going to be streaming-challenged, at least for a while, when I move to Somerset, because I'll probably be on mobile internet :( Then again, there are still dvds... *g*

Minor happies are always worthwhile!
