100 Days of Happiness 2020 - Day 63 - Sunday - Day 6 Lockdown

[byslantedlight]

Oh, it's weird times, isn't it... Don't know about you, but I'm finding it fairly hard to focus on any one thing. I have the Lads in Lockdown half in mind - I know all sorts that are going to happen, but my brain's still chuntering along the next few hours after Doyle's... well, that would be telling. *g* But I'm determined my brain will re-focus and get there. *g* I'm slightly distracted by having done something to my wrist - not sure why, but it's a bit swollen and sore, even just lying in cushioned comfort in bed at night - and by my laptop mouse playing up a bit too - gargh! Still, I'm relatively comfortable here at home, my volunteer patch seems to be sorted, and even if the wind was cold today, and the clouds were out, there was also still sunshine.

The clocks went forward here today. On the one hand we lost an hour, on the other hand - light, glorious light in the evenings (which is when I tend to be most awake...)

My goal today was to plant some seeds in the greenhouse that Landlord won't be using this season, but in the end I kept being interrupted, and only got as far as clearing my veggie bed. Still, that's a happy thing to start with. On the bright side, Landlord says he's not planning to do any more gardening than he can near the house, so I've probably got two greenhouses to myself, as well as his three-times-the-size veggie bed outside. Let's see what I can do... I have work tomorrow, and half a day on Tuesday at the moment - hopefully I can do some gardening around that.

My Christmas cactus made me happy today - she's also an Easter cactus (which she has been before, so I did wonder... *g*

And the goblin village was back again tonight at sunset - look at this amazing goblin cathedral... *g*Ooh, I'm seeing wolfs-head windows, too... *g*

Otherwise, I sunk into watching Bridget Jones' Baby this evening, and when I've got time I'll catch up with the second ep of McDonald and Dodds. But last night - last night I watched a random Pros ep, which turned out to be - Involvement. I so love that moment at the end where Bodie goes after Doyle, Doyle shrugs him off, and then is the one who puts his arm around Bodie at the end... *sigh*

Speaking of *sigh* - I'm rereading Tangled Web by Jack Reuben Darcy, which I adore - my heart for them... *g* Anyone else reading Pros fic? Or watching eps?

Take care, my lj-friends - stay at home, wash your hands, and keep half an eye on the sunshine, because it will always be out there for us.

Hunter Hunted is also on the same disk as The Rack, another favorite of mine, which is such a bonus for my lazy ass... so I guess I’ll watch that too. Always available if you ever want to compare notes 😜

I’m liking Tangled Web, even if I’m not familiar with Alan Cade but I’m managing well. I think I’m still 1/3 in the story - I’m reading at least another 3 fics in the meanwhile, now going for the fourth apparently since you mentioned Forever True...

Oh, heavy books... thank god for ipad and the likes, never understood how we are supposed to handle a book that weights a ton.

Lol - I'm the opposite, I'd much rather proper paper books and printed-out fic! I didn't realise how much I glance back at other pages, and subconsciously measure how far through a book or story I am, and factor that into the way I'm reading. Like, if you know you're halfway through a story, that has entirely different implications from knowing you're near the end, and I hate not knowing if a story is suddenly going to end on me! (Books that include a big chapter from another book at the end make me frown too - you're expecting that much more story, and instead it ends when you weren't expecting it!)

Glad you liked Tangled Web! I tried to holding off reading cross-over fic until I'd at least glimpsed the other show/film/whatever that it was based on, but it's hard...

I like The Rack as well... and I'm also always available for note-comparing! (Even if I'm sometimes a bit late... *g*) If you ever fancied posting about eps or stories or whatever, it would be fun to chat... *vbg*

Oh, I’m like you, always going back and forth through pages and checking how long is the story. Just a matter of personal preference between proper book and digital device. With actual printed book I always go to the last page first thing, I don’t like surprises! 😉

Where do Pros fandom chats usually happen on LJ? Your place, my place, community... ? I‘m a lost cause around here, I know.
