Spitting feathers
Here in the UK the clocks went back over the weekend.
Obviously the call centre in, I suspect, India or close proximity didn't take note of this fact, so when my phone rang at 7.48 am I assumed it was some kind of emergency.
'Mark' was given a short, sharp reply to his enquiry as to how my morning was - if I'd realised just how early it was, I'd have ( Read more... ) -
Please spare all your good thoughts and crossed whatnots....
Things have been getting very low here, woes that have seen our health diminishing as things slowly grind onwards with no end in sight
BUT
Brian received a call this morning from Orthopedics. Nothing is confirmed, but it looks like there has been a cancellation on the scheduled list and, if so, B was asked if he was interested/able to take it at ( Read more... ) -
Just a note...
... to say I'm still alive, if not exactly kicking.
Sincere apologies to the roughly half dozen people that still respond to the few and far between posts and comments I make, or who still give me access to theirs, despite this lack. I am very boring, and often not as supportive online as I feel in reality.
I doubt things will improve, but I'd like ( Read more... ) -
A nice day out; also help with fabric care/repair ideas.
Last Sunday, in an event that is a rare positive rather than negative or simply banal happening in my life, I twisted the girls' arms to taking me out to the Southampton Scrapstore, which was open to all for the day (fabrics only, a clearance event). I've been interested in joining for a while but haven't had transport/a driver until now, so it ( Read more... ) -
Happy Birthday, Nocturnus33!
Here's hoping this day will be good to you, and you get to celebrate with loved ones (and maybe a glass of wine or two). You deserve it :) -
WTF? I have no idea what is going on locally... [edit:storm in a teacup]
I don't get out of the house much (though C is hoping to take me out shopping in Southampton today!) so I don't know what is going on with people, but I don't like what I'm hearing.
B has just read me the report of the reopening of the local post office after having to close temporarily due to threats to and verbal abuse of the staff which has left ( Read more... ) -
Colour me Boggled! Professor Snape is living and breathing - for real!
Catherine has just burst into my room at nigh on midnight with the news that Professor Snape is trending on Twitter. But not exactly our esteemed professor.
Probably 😉
What Prof Snape is upto these days/a>
I loved the slightly tongue in cheek tweet from Oxford University itself :D
I should imagine this poor guy has gone through so much stick, hanging ( Read more... ) -
Every little helps...
Lately I've been enjoying the YouTube content of The Welsh Viking. He is, amongst other thngs, a reenactor and researcher of the day-to-day Viking life and more. He is also the sort of enthusiastic nutter that I really used to enjoy mixing with in RL (and really miss *sniffle*), and has some amazingly mobile eyebrows!
Jimmy is also intending to ( Read more... ) -

Is anyone reading The Petulant Poetess archive?
I think there is a Facebook page or something I should look for, but after the long delay between the site going down and being made ready for relaunch I was looking forward to having access again, but I am having problems. Is it just me?
I know some had problems with TPP, as did I at times, but it was a readable HPfanfic/Ofic archive that was ( Read more... )
