A Sunday November night in England

[byslantedlight]

A Sunday November night in England - this time last year I was up to me eyeballs in snow and isotopes, this year it's a great wind and a couple of lashings of rain, The Cranford Chronicles on tv, and looking forward to getting back on the trail of the Great Condom Counterfeitererers tomorrow.

Yeay.

And best of all? Prosfic to read in bed, listening to the rain...

Oh, and I did enjoy Cranford too - even if our MS wasn't in it. And look at me - I'm all up with the latest tv and everything! (Had to cadge me way into my housemate's room to do it, but it was so worth it).

So - anyone had snow? They tell me people are gonna have snow! *eyes raindrops on window* Probably not me...

What could be better? I love it...

Oh yes, me too. Shame about MS, but we've still got Phil Glenister to perv over look at - and why didn't I know that Greg Wise was in it? I swear that man gets sexier as he gets older...

So - anyone had snow

Nope, not here.

back on the trail of the Great Condom Counterfeitererers tomorrow.

I'm still not entirely convinced that you're not having us on about that job, y'know...*strokes chin thoughtfully*

Hee - I swear, I'm sitting here surrounded by condoms... They're all in their boxes, mind (and definitely their packets!), but I've been going through them, checking the evidence... *g* Sent one down to the lab this morning for chemical analysis... preparing witness statements later... Ah, it's all go... *vbg*

Mind you, suppose it means I shouldn't be here nattering, but I have got me hot chocolate in front of me, and if I was a smoker I'd get to go hang around quietly for ten minutes, so this is my equivalent! So there.

And back home I'm reading through the Unpro Conducts I've recently got my hands on - they're excellent zines, they really are, some fab stories. Heart was melting yesterday over Kitty Fisher's Fairground Attractions...

No snow down here, wet and windy all day.

And Cranford was an absolute joy wasn't it?

None here this morning either - blustery, sunshine acoss the odd splat of rain... now it looks all cold and clear out again, just the odd wave of a tree branch!

I was really happily surprised by Cranford - a bit of me had been thinking hey-ho, another costume drama (not that I've seen most of the other recent ones!) but I thought it was beautifully done, just the right side of everything to make it about perfect! Hope it carries on in the same vein...

It's been a horrid day here, but no snow. Yet.
But now that you mention it,a cup of hot chocolate and an earlyish night with some Pros (reading, girls, reading!) and listening to the rain on the window would just finish the day off perfectly!
And yes, wasn't Cranford a delight? I enjoyed it so much, more than I expected really and even hubby was giggling at some bits!
I've just posted on good_grub about how I spent part of my day, by the way and I see you're not in that yet (Go on - you're cooking more now, might come in handy!) so pop over and have a giggle!
Back to the condoms tomorrow then? Amazing - have fun!

Oh is goodgrub all active again? I must admit I'd completely forgotten about it. And I'm always after recipes these days, so... Shall dash over and see what's going on again!

And yeah, there are condoms waiting for my attention right now, and I suspect my non-smoking break is almost over, so...

Many thanks for your e/mail earlier! I'm glad you are having or have had, a nice Sunday evening. I apologize if I missed it but if you haven't yet posted pics of your new digs after you were fully moved in and organized, it would be fun to see how you arranged everything. Only if you want to, of course! I hope you'll continue to be very happy there.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Ah, no I haven't posted those pics yet, more because they'd be midway pics than anything else... although I should do, really... it'll happen, one day soon! Hope you're having a good week - is it really Wednesday already?! *g*

We had a bit of snow last week but it's all gone by now. Which is a good thing as I hate snow.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Ack - delayed reaction reply!

I love snow, although I like it best when it's all dry and cold, and I can stay in if I want, and people don't get all panicky and grumpy about it!

Glimpses of snow are nice... *g*

I've had snow!! The isotopes should be by later...I'm glad to hear you're happy and enjoying your newest job *grin* I miss you sooo much!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I am so behind... just when I thought I'd caught up too. Sorry hon, totally wasn't ignoring you, just being the useless old cow that you know and... well, that you know. *g*

I miss you too! I was so sorry to read your post the other day as well - you sound like you've had an awful time of it... I can't even believe you're sounding so chipper and positive now, so good for you. How's everything now?

And how's the dept now, is it weird with Mb somewhere else? And what about your TA, yeay for Intro to Bio? Who's new, what's up? You got moose jaws! You got a moose jaw drop box! I can't believe you dropped Russian - I knew you wouldn't do Russian... then again, apparently I'm not anymore either... GIS, me... *sighs*... Well, if the buggers here'll ever answer my email... PhD, what Phd? *sighs more* And you're staying on at UAF? Yeay you again! You're doing IGERT, aren't you... *reads between lines*... is it still called IGERT? That interdisciplinary thingie, anyway, with Craig and Gary and all? That one?

Really I should email, right? Right. Look out for an email from me, but at googlemail instead of hotmail these days. Hotmail are update-y sods! And if I get distracted (cos I'm like that) feel free to kick me here...
