The past three out of four days of Winter here in Melbourne have been so thick with fog that I can literally see it hanging in the hair when I open the front door. Not just early in the morning either, it lasts until early afternoon. It started smack bang on the first day of Winter too.

Drove back to Melbs today and the effects of not being able to sleep for the past four nights have kicked in with a vengeance. I was able to snooze a little in the car (I wasn't driving!) and again this afternoon snuggled in my own bed. But the real problem is, for some reason, I haven't been able to get any real deep sleep for some time. Strangely ( Read more... )

I'm actually really excited about the ACG quiz night this Friday. I said I wasn't going to make anything new, but I got all excited about finishing a Pirate Lolita outfit I've been working on for ages. And I've nearly finished it (just hanging the skirt out, will do the hem at the last possible minute) and I'm totally in love with it ( Read more... )

Oh God, Peter Davison... you are so awesome! The bit with the spray cans... brilliant! I love you :) And I get to see you in TWO different tv-shows in the same week! I'm in heaven ( Read more... )
