My 2016 Fic Challenge Post

I thought this was an excellent idea of golden_bastet's when I saw it in my flist this morning, so I'm kind of pinching it! *g* I already keep a master list of my Pros fic on my sidebar, but I like the idea of keeping track of this year's challenges too. Well, and actually doing some again. *g* Plus listing them here might mean I'm prompted to remember what they are and when they're due! My brain just isn't big enough for this internet-life - I've always needed to keep a paper diary too, and if you organise it right, lj is close... *g*

366 Photos - 11/366 - today's trees

Today's trees are all seen from the hack-track - that's as far as I went today, into the outside world!
I actually took 45 photos of trees, and the ones I'm posting are the very first one I took, thinking well that'll do if I get nothing else, and then one from the middle of the set. I like the three of the first one, though, and the way they bend together, and then I quite like the sway of the second pic...

In other news, I am ve-ery sleepy just now, and looking forward to curling up with the last few pages of Island Innocents to fall asleep to... up early tomorrow. Well, to an alarm clock, anyway...

Ooh! Weather forecast for tonight is for rain/snow! Which I suspect means we'll get more rain, and I've just nipped out to check (you know, in case it's been beautifully magically falling whilst I wasn't paying attention inside - what was that ad, when they all came out of the pub and just stopped in the doorway, cos it'd been snowing while they were inside...? Like that, I was hoping for. Instead - clear skies, and a very definite parkiness in the air! My weather station is currently - ha! - under the weather and not working, at least not for outdoor temperatures, which are the interesting ones... I checked the batteries, and it's not them, so it must be the sensor and I'll have to take it down and stare at it in puzzlement for a minute... it briefly worked when I changed the batteries, so I'm hopeful that it just needs a bit of a shake... but I wish I new what the temperature was right now...

And finally - I'm feeling quite Pros-y just at the moment... *g* Re-read Seven Nights in Bangkok by KM (her real name's on the fic, but I don't know if she's out in a fic-online kind of way, so I'm not saying it outloud here). I think it's only available on paper, but it's so good - just like an episode... which also means that there's no explicit slash, except insofar as there's slash in the eps, which as we all know there completely is... *g* And I'm still eyeing my pic-from-yesterday too, and thinking ye-es... Also I wrote a bit more of The Waters and the Wild the other day, which was nice to get back to. So close to being finished, but it's not quite...

Am I rambling? I'm rambling. Bedtime... *g*
