So, of course, many of my neighbours - no doubt fuelled by the adrenaline rush of watching the match - were up late (read some of them were UP ALL NIGHT!) I gave up on getting any more sleep about half an hour ago, just after I was woken by the words "we're not bothering anyone" booming up from next door's garden ( Read more... )

Why, despite the fact it looks like it might well have been genetically engineered for the job of eating cashew (or, indeed, any other nut) butter from the jar, does celery fail at getting that last little bit at the bottom?

I genuinely never thought I'd ever laugh out loud during an episode of Orphan Black; it's not that kind of show. BUT ( cut for spoilers just in case )

So... I have this Yahoo Rocketmail email addy which I got aeons ago because, well *rocketmail* addy, you know? I use it even less than I currently use LJ and DW, because I have several other email addresses so I didn't really have a use for it except to give me a happy.

...that online shopping can turn out to be just as knackering/frustrating/headache inducing as traipsing round the *actual* shops? Granted you don't end up with bruises so that's a plus BUT. OMG. I've had enough ( Read more... )

I wrote fic. I posted fic. It turns out I am not a pre-approved poster to Consci_fan_mo. Bwahahahah! Actually, it must be said that LJ has been very patchy about the moderation queue, repeatedly sending stuff my way even though I KNOW the authors should already have permission to post directly ( Read more... )

It feels like I've spent the whole day in the kitchen, which I know isn't true. It probably only feels like that because my first attempt at the dessert I was trying to make for *Thursday* went REALLY wrong when I used my stand mixer. I switched to using my very elderly hand held mixer for attempt number two and managed to wreck my wrist and make ( Read more... )

Can't decide who was more worried - me or the dog - after I put him in the back garden then found him in the FRONT porch 10 minutes later. Basically, this means he'd negotiated all the grabby branches of the trees that grow the length (depth?) of my house between it and the boundary fence *and* worn himself out doing it, bless him. I really don't ( Read more... )

Even though I watched it last night, I'm shying away from reading other people's reactions; I'm still processing, I guess?

I liked it.
