Wheee - on the road again, for a mini-Pros weekend, with lovely Pros-y friend, and lovely Pros-y friends! I met
magenta_blue at the station, and we headed off to the Warehouse of Dust and Dreams - finding more dust than dreams this time, but hey-ho. Coffee and cake, and then we were properly off...
Now, guess which country. *g*

...with such glorious fields of flowers?

And such pretty houses beside the river...?
Norfolk! *g* Isn't it lovely? We had a little wander, and there was much chat about writing and Pros and life and the universe and everything, and there was pizza and chilling, and then the rest of the gorgeous evening looked alot like this...

We found a gorgeous little pub with fairy lights and comfy sofas for sitting on, and locals recommending wine at the bar, and eventually even Nirvana on the jukebox... *g* And chat. We found time and chilling for much more chat. Lovely. *sighs happily*
And yet again, I so want to move to Norwich! It has prettiest pub, and the comfy-est B&B, and every step you take in this city shows you that the people who live here like it, and appreciate it, and feel it. It's full of history, and little subtle-y plaqued stories about that history (we know why there's Pottergate, and Upper Goat Lane!), and it's also full of bookshops which were closed by the time we got there, but it's just good knowing they're there, you know?
Just... yeay. *g*

(zoic#1 is keen on manga, and is actually learning Japanese to the point where she can exchange a few faltering words, count, ask for a few things etc. I don't "get" manga at all myself, but if it motivates her - why not!)

Once I'd mastered clever-y, of course... I'd never have learned html if I'd not wanted to play on lj and palelyloitering either, so I think whatever motivates you to do something new has got to be pretty fab!
