365 Photos - 1/365 (Water theme)

Thank you fiorenza_a who suggested the theme of water for the first week of my 365 project (which is where I post at least one picture a day, for 365 days... *g*) Trouble is - it rained today, and I was going to go out, but actually... So not a very exciting first photo, but it is a photo! It's a start! In other news:

Reading - The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver (for book group next Thursday.) I wasn't sure at first, but 100 pages in I'm happy to keep going and find out what happens. *g* It's set in the Congo, which makes me think maybe I should find one of those travel-the-world reading challenges, this year!

Fanfic
Meg Lewtan's Bird in a Gilded Cage beside my bed, but I've remembered what happens in general, and sort of stalled. Read the first story in O. Yardley's Septet zine last night (technically very early this morning!) - nice enough - and I may read the next one tonight, which is a sequel to Two Lovers. Except that I wasn't keen on Two Lovers, it sounded more like O. Yardley than our lads, imnsho, so I might skip it to the next story in the zine... We'll see. *g*

Writing
Erk - a bit of helpful research this morning, does that count?

Telly
Missed the beginning of Dickensian cos I was making fudge, but the rest was still good. Sherlock was a bit more good - anyone else watch?! If I'd thought about expecting something, that wouldn't have been it... *g*

How're you doing, this first day of 2016 (well, second I expect, by the time I hit post and you read this...)?

365 Photos - 2/365 (Water theme). Plus added stuff!

Still with water - all the same photo. I love how the drops cuddled up to the fibres of the plant, and how you can see such fine fibres through the drops at high resolution. *g* Nope, I didn't leave the house today either, except into my gravel garden. *g*

Also - pinched from solosundance who pinched it from The Friday Five - 2015 in brief:
1. Favorite TV show - Hmmn... Can't be Sherlock, that was 2016. Doctor Who? I wish, but Clara... Might have to be Poldark, unless I'm forgetting something that I loved more... *g*
2. Favorite movie - I only saw two - so Suffragettes, beating out Mockingjay
3. Favorite book - Jackdaw by K.J. Charles. No competition.
4. Favorite video - I'm not entirely sure how this is different to the above - video of what? But I watched Outlander on dvd, so that! Or the new Pros dvds!! Or do they mean music vid? I don't really watch those much... though perhaps I could shout out sc_fossil's Gone, Gone, Gone Pros vid here... *g*
5. Favorite current event - Jeremy Corbyn becoming Labour leader. Let's just hope he can stay there and has a chance to fix things...

Have you got any favourites from 2015? *g*

Oh - and just cos...

Reading - The Haunted Hotel by Wilkie Collins, for some Victorian ambience, but I'm not sure how that's worked, and some Victorian non-fiction, for the same, which worked better! Back to The Poisonwood Bible tomorrow.

Fanfic - Clean and Decent by O.Yardley (the lads in the showers at CI5 hq when Doyle makes a shocking discovery... *g* Got a bit soppy at the end, and I can never quite believe it when the lads go from oh it's you I want! to right, we'd better settle down together then from now on in about five sentences, but otherwise pretty good. Catching up on discoveredinalj too - read both of murphybabe's stories at once, which was a good thing, cos I'd've hated to wait! *g*

Writing - ack, still on research this morning, but also plotting... must get some more words down tonight...

Telly - think I might watch Sherlock again if I can get iPlayer to play...
