Well, yesterday didn't work out very well in the virtual office as far as what-to-do-between-bursts-of-work goes, but it was very nice to have people dropping by! So I'm going to do it again - do pop in and say hi. *g* I think I'm feeling a bit better today - maybe I was fighting something off yesterday...

I did manage to get a decent amount of work done in the end, but it dragged out the whole day, so I think I'm just going to have to give in to the fact that I'm much more of a night-owl when it comes to laptop-working. I like to be out and moving about in the daylight, so maybe I should try and work life like that instead for a bit, since I'm working from home right now and can organise myself as I please.

So - work for the day.
garden clearing
C25k run
61-70 = 6-ish
71-80 = 6.30pm
Made dinner
81-90
91-100
101-108

And chat for the day - hmmmn... anyone reading Pros right now? I'm just about to post about ET's A Walk on the Beach, and I'm re-reading November by Sebastian right now (coincidentally one of the fics on [livejournal.com profile] shooting2kill's most recent Visions post).

Pros tends to be my end-of-the-day cosy-in-bed reading, which I like on paper, which is why it turns into re-reading more than anything else. And even zines are getting less comfortable to hold, cos they're so big, so I'm trying to print things in smaller formats now. I do think it's a shame the A5 size zines never caught on, though I guess many of them would have been much fatter for their bindings... *g* I have a Kobo of course, but handy as it is for travelling (it's always in my bag), I still prefer paper.

How about you? *g*

I've got to sign off for a while now but I just wanted to say it's never rude to join in for a chat and I welcome as much Pros chatting as possible!

Thank you for letting me know. It looks like you were talking to BSL and I might interfere in your chat, but I couldn't resist *g*

It's always great if people want to join in and contribute.

I love Alexandra's writing and used to read it a lot but for some reason I'm not sure I've read Summer's End and I think I've always confused it with a story by ET. One of these stories has Bodie and Doyle being sent on some kind of therapeutic break away and keeping diaries about each other and I found it a bit slow for what I seem to like and need in stories nowadays. I think tastes do change and may even go full circle.

I love Alexandra's stories too I am not sure if there will be some diaries in this Summer's End. It is set one year after DIAG and they are on a case in Cornwall, St. Michael's Mountain is often mentioned - at least at the moment - about 18% of the story :-)
Doyle is scared about losing Bodie and the other way round as well. But there must be a happy end, I hope :-)

I had to delete my comment because LJ said I am spam - due to the link to Alexandra's story in the CA, maybe.

I remember the diaries one, and it was bugging me, so I had to go and look it up - it was Private Lives.
