...because Wheeeeee!, I've finally finished exam marking for the session! It has gone on forever, although that could be partly because I was also working full time at another job this year...

But at last I am finished, and having a weekend away visiting Pros fan extraordinaire [livejournal.com profile] f_m_parkinson, and we have watched eps (Hunter/Hunted and Backtrack, since you ask *g*) and chatted lads, and... had a bit of a hunt through what FMP calls "a box", and I call "an amazing box of wonderments and joy", because Pros pictures! Articles! Snippets! Posters! The lads! And amazingly it was only "the first box", even... *vbg*

The hunt involved a picture that [livejournal.com profile] ali15son recently posted, which FMP was sure she'd seen before with an associated article, and so we began, excavating lower and lower through treasures... FMP finished her side of the box first, and I took out the last handful of papers on my side... and there it was!

And to celebrate my time being my own again, and FMP's excellent memory, and for everyone else who was curious about the picture and it's background, here is FMP's copy. *g*

I will post this over to [livejournal.com profile] ci5hq_dnoticed, with FMP's permission, but for now - happy gazing and reading. And I fully intend to get back to posting at lj, I really do...

How're you doing? *g*

Hooray for finishing the exam marking! I hope we will indeed see you on LJ a bit more.

I’m doing all right. Currently taking care of my mother’s dog and reading Pros fic from 1990. I’m also mulling whether there is a format for my Lifetime Fic Bingo posts that people would like better than what I’ve been using.

So very much hooray! *vbg*

I must get back to my Pros fic challenge - I can barely remember what it was at this point (eep!)

I'm curious about your posts - what do you think people might not like about them?

Heh. You were reading one fic from every year since 1977.

I'm curious about your posts - what do you think people might not like about them?

I've been wondering if they are too long. The post for 1988 didn't get any response at all and 1989 got only a like from [livejournal.com profile] hagsrus, who faithfully likes almost every Pros-related post I make (not including the one for 1988—maybe she's a Def Leppard fan). I've been thinking that perhaps people find the posts unwieldy and are not reading them.

I wouldn't have recognized MS if it wasn't a post from you. 😁
Yay for finishing Job 2!
How is Job 1 working out?

He looks so different with his hair so straight, doesn't he! *g*

And yeay and yeay for finishing Job 2!

Job 1 is okay... I'm feeling all its disadvantages compared to Last Job, like not being able to choose what days I go where, and what time I do my work and so on. But on the other hand, it's nice being paid over bank holidays and so on, and not worrying about getting sick and not being able to work and so on... So we'll see! I'm in Wells next week, which means I have to get up earlier in order to park for work (without paying for it, which I object to!), but then Wells is lovely to wander around, so... *g* Plus it has a bookshop. *vbg*

How are you all doing?

Thanks for doing such a dangerous expedition as hunting for the box! *bg* I'd never heard of these bikes so I looked about. There's a vintage 1982 in California for sale for $21,000US. Interesting! I think I'll buy a helicopter instead. LOL! Thanks.

It was dreadfully dangerous... all too easy to fall into the articles, and become mesmerised by all those pictures... *vbg*

I've never heard of those bikes either - I'm guessing setting such a high price for them may not have worked out very well, sales-wise!

Thank you! I'm so looking forward to being more relaxed for a while! *sighs happily*
