I seem to have accidentally written more Life on Mars fic. Nicked the title from a Roger Whittaker son (?!?). First part of two or three. Beta'd by kirsteena.

My internet day has been slightly interrupted by my child deciding she couldn't walk today. Cue four hours in A&E because my GP couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. All to be told, eventually, that it was just an after affect of the mystery virus she had over the weekend, her ankles are a bit swollen and it will go away on its own. Heh ( Read more... )

This week I have mostly been irrationally cheerful. I think it's the weather. It wouldn't do my housing estate any harm to be submerged under a few foot of water and it's looking increasingly likely. Get rid of a few of my more obnoxious neighbours. I'm planning on watching them drown from my cosy third floor flat. The clouds outside look ( Read more... )

Three days out of the last five I've been trekking over to my Mum's to fix her broadband. Every day, after an hour or so fiddling around, it works. Every time I restart the computer it doesn't work.

The only way I got rid of them on Jen was picking the little buggers off one at a time (I've got so much less squeemish since I became a mother) and even that doesn't ( Read more... )

If you can't tell from the nine month wait, I've got a bit lost with this fic. I've learnt lessons. I shall never again start posting a fic without a proper story plan. But I wouldn't put money on me finishing this fic in, say, the next few years, so if you hate abandoned WIPs look away now.

And happy birthday shapinglight, hope this gorgeous weather holds for your trip.

Visiting the iMac for the weekend. Okay, I'm supposed to be babysitting the eldest half-sibling, but I come for the computer really. I have nothing to say, but... I do have a computer to say it on ( Read more... )
