Vortexed Out

[byslantedlight]

Well, that'll teach me to feel all accomplished now, won't it?  I wonder what B and D would do with Kramer's Rule and other fun stuff like that?  I can guess what they might wanna do with it... and I reckon I feel the same way.  Yup, the vortex took me, and sucked what few braincells remained right out through my ears... apparently I didn't need them to talk baby-Russian, for which I am thankful.  Only the Boys can save me now.

So I managed to find the teeny-tiny sentence I'd been missing in my drabble-type piece, and before I could chicken out I sent it off into the ether in the hope of a comment or two.  Well, no I didn't post it somewhere, I sent it to a poor hapless soul who I understand is sometimes prepared to beta stuff.  I hope she doesn't mind too much, I was probably a bit quick off the mark, maybe took a liberty...  I should probably have waited a bit - "Nerv-y?"/ "Must-be" - but I'm a bit of a band-aid ripper at heart.  Well.

At least its a pretty night outside - 7-ish, and just sun-setty, all pale wash blues and peaches and pinks.  Bodes well for the aurora tonight - now there's one slant of light I've really been missing.  For ages after I left I would look up automatically when I went out at night, not sure what I was looking for at first.  Although they did show themselves when I was in the Shetlands, gloriously, for our last night there.  But now I'm back up north properly!  I actually did peer up out of my hole-in-the-ground a couple of weeks ago to see them battling the streetlights for the right to dance.  They won - well, they dragged me into the night anyway, for all I was dodging the way-too-bright neons (or whatever they are these days) with tree branches and telephone poles to help keep my night vision.

Right, the bus is imminent, so I shall leave off blathering.  So much easier than that nasssty spectrometry stuff though...  And I have plans for the Boys tonight - off to the TTs I reckon they are.  I'm pretty sure they'll approve...  And turns out the official website has all the info I could want about the early 80s too.  Although since I was actually around in '85 myself I just might start there... Dunlop won the Seniors that year.  Yeah, I reckon they'll approve.
