It is bloody freezing here. Do not think I ever fully appreciated central heating at home. At christmas I am going to spend the whole time huddled against the radiators in an attempt to win back their favour. I need to get a heater and my dad said he'd pay for it, but he wants me to get some uber expensive high tech thing, possibly with 'dragon' in ( Read more... )

Walking on the beach the other night, I saw a dark shape in the distance. The first thing that occurred to me was a black horse struggling to get up in the sand. The second a brown bear.

Anyway, I can't see him very well because it's windy and turns out my eyesight is crap, but I have no idea who he is, so I'm thinking he must know Jane and have just worked out who I am because, obviously, I look like her. And then I ( Read more... )
