... although you wouldn't know that from my recent LJ activity (read: total lack of) but I've surfaced now because today is a very important day - it's sparrow2000's birthday!!!

Happy birthday, my dear. Wishing you the best of days.

...although, I am in self-isolation because I've tested positive for covid. That means I'm stuck in the house until the end of the week. And it could be longer if I continue positive. My symptoms are mild, courtesy of three jabs. Mainly a slight temperature and a cough. Thank science for the vaccine that means I get away with only that ( Read more... )

The last day of the month and I remembered to post the last few questions on the meme. Yay! Go me!

28. Who was your best teacher/professor? Why?My English teacher in the first years of secondary school, who gave me extra time outside class to finally teach me to spell. Or, at least, to spell better. She taught me some simple rules that have stood ( Read more... )

I went to see the new Macbeth at the cinema the other day. It's certainly very dramatic. The black and white format is very stylish and the sets manage to tread a neatly balanced line between cinematic landscape and stage set. The weird sisters were absolutely amazing. Brilliantly done! But... but... it always takes me a moment or three to adapt my ( Read more... )

I just realised it's a week since I posted the first 6 days of January. If I'm not going to end up posting a month at a time, I begin to suspect I might need to log a reminder in my diary *g*
So here's another week...

7. Have you ever saved an animal's life? How about a person's life?I can't remember ever saving an animal's life. Maybe the ( Read more... )

Looks like I am going to do this again. I need an excuse to post occasionally. I'm also considering taking part in this year's LJ Book Bingo (at https://ljbookbingo.livejournal.com/), but I'll see whether I can get a couple of book reviews in stock before I decide about that. This year, rather ( Read more... )

I did so badly at posting during the last half of this year, I'm not sure I'll do this meme again. But on the other hand, these questions have been the only posts I've made this year.

I need to think about this.

However, for now I'll finish off the year.

21. Do you have memories from preschool?Yes. I have a lot of early memories. I always feel ( Read more... )

Once again, I've not really been online lately, so I'm sure I've missed things. If I have missed something you think I'd like to see, please do let me know ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness, it's almost mid-December and I suddenly realised I have once again failed to post for the meme since the end of November. So once again, behind a cut to save your flists.

I've suddenly realised how long ago I last posted. I've been under the weather for a while, which is why I've only been around intermittently. Then I got my booster jab and spent a couple of days feeling rather unwell in a different way. Don't get me wrong - I'm very pleased to get it, but I'm also really concerned about the large parts of the ( Read more... )
