A month of October - October 29th - an indoors day...

[byslantedlight]

...and not as warm as it has been, though not cold either (unless you're sitting at a desk all day desperately trying to meet your deadline cos you were skiving in the sunshine the day before... *headdesk*)

Anyway, it looked rather like this... That's yesterday's laundry still not quite dry because the air got so damp and stayed that way! Ack! I keep wondering if it's just cold, but I think there's a touch of damp in there still... and it was warm enough yesterday that there's been no evening heating again - rats!

Oh, but a happy thing - - A Flight of Magpies is finally out (though only in e-reader - it's one of the few that I'll buy to read now and buy the paperback when it eventually comes out... And since I'm reading The Haunting of Hill House right now, and I am not going to read that in bed at night, I reckon I might just start my Vaundrey/Day book... *g* Although the sad thing is that I've seen it described as a trilogy, and the last book in the trilogy, as in there aren't going to be any more - waaah! (I know, there are four covers there, the third one was for a mini-novelette bonus free extra that the author very kindly wrote... *g*)

And A Death in the Dionysus Club is hopefully winging it's way this way as I type, too - but a real proper paper book... Yeay!

Now, if I'd just gotten on with planning for NaNoWriMo, cos it's the one thing I haven't done after buying those books yesterday, and... and... I think I need a plan or it might all fall apart after all! Eeep! Last writing group in Bath tomorrow morning too (and then home for the day's work) - but more about that then, of course... And I have lj comments to catch up with too - I will, I will get there...

Soooo sleepy now - bed beckons. Can I be bothered going down to fill my hot water bottle, even? I'm not sure I can, you know... zzzzzz

Here in Oz we've been getting re-runs of "Judge John Deed" and even though I own the vids; I still enjoy watching Martin in action = any excuse for a perv [lol] He's certainly aged well; leaving no doubt a strict vegan diet does wonders. Lew also looked fantastic [so photogenic] even with stark white hair; until he became ill. I hope I'm so lucky by the time I catch-up in 20 or so years....Kiashi

It's been years since I watched JJD... MS has definitely aged well, and I do wonder how much of that is down to his diet and meditation and so on. He always seems so full of life too. And reading that beside thinking about LC is a sad thing, now that I'm doing it... So I shall think of them both as my Bodie and Doyle, eternally young and moving fast and sure! *g*

And yes - hope that I'm even a little bit as young and energetic looking as MS seems to be, when I'm that age - wishing that for all of us! *g*

Me too - I will always think of them as 'both as my Bodie and Doyle' too. That way they will forever remain young and vital and beautiful and oh so special. I'm grateful to have found them and I'm thrilled that all these years later they still remain as relevant if not more so..long live our boys....Kiashi
