I took the day off work today, because it's a celebration holiday day - I finally get my hair cut again! I had it cut just before lockdown, but it was still winter-length (just on my neck), and it grew, and it grew and it blew in my face when I was trying to dig up stuff metal detecting - but no more! Now it's all gone! And I have dark blue sparkles too. *g*

Positively ran through the shops and then back home, cos I'd signed up for the virtual BistoCon, and was very curious about how that would be. There was a Zoom welcome first, and it was nice to see some old faces and put faces to some new names too - hello you people, you! *g*

Then a communal watch of Purging of CI5, which - we all love that ep, don't we? Is there anyone who doesn't like it? Good choice anyway! The lads are looking almost perfect in this ep, especially Doyle, and there's some lovely together moments. But you all know that. *g*

Was lovely to see lots of Pros-y people together again, anyway - it seems like it's been a very long time since I was at any kind of a Pros gathering. And it's a fair while since I sat down and watched an ep too, so yeay. *g* There's a repeat of the session for different time zones very late (for me) tonight - but I might give it a go...

The nice thing about trains is that you're just sitting there, and apparently it is possible to write Prosfic on a smartphone. Not long Prosfic, but here's a wee something that kept me going between London and Somerset. I thought it might be longer, but actually I re-read it this morning when I paused to check that it still existed (yeay, lj saves posts between smartphone and laptop!) and I think it can count as done. It's nothing astounding, but - hey, I wrote wee Prosfic... *g* And it's dedicated to the girls from the weekend, and to meetings at a certain pub - heliophile_oxon, macklingirl, potztausend, kiwisue, agent_talis and (surprise guest!) helenraven.

And now I'm off to another city for the weekend - well, Cambridge for a couple of days, and then a detour west before heading further west back home. I'm driving though, and they rather frown on writing Prosfic on mobile phones while you're doing that...

Which plonker forgot to turn on for George Gently tonight...?

*headdeskheaddeskheaddesk*

I can't get iPlayer to work on my tv either, though thank god it works on my laptop (I just watched the last Poldark - ever so good. And now I can read the novel that I might have bought the other day...) So - George Gently still to come, but for now...

It was a lovely weekend in London! I've already said that Saturday was a gorgeous afternoon of chat with veronicaluv, who it was lovely to meet at long last.

And then Sunday! Sunday was full of many lovely things too! The least lovely thing was that my bed was too hard, but I must have slept a bit, because I woke up. *g* I was bit worried that I was up and about too early for a Sunday, but I managed to find coffee, and then tried to work out what to do next. I had to be at Paddington at 1pm, and various places didn't open until 11, which was a bit of a pain, but then I found just the spot, and set off on my way. *g* I went past... Rather smart door steps (I do like a nice mosaic *g*) and ghost signs (I do like a good ghost sign... *g*)
