Brief catch up post.
Dec. 20th, 2009 05:15 pmThe reason I have not been posting much of late is because I have been busy. By the evening I am half asleep and by the next morning I've forgotten everything. So, a brief synopsis:
Drop in centre on Mondays. I am still going as often as I can and loving it. I sometimes stop for lunch and always end up having at least one nice conversation.
Community allotment, on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Monday clashes with the drop-in and Saturdays with Pol, but I will be going when I can. I had one two-hour session there on Thursday, with freezing wind and snow hitting me in the teeth while I cut dead wood out of a living willow trellis and arch. And I loved it. It turned out that both the main workers there are Pratchett fans, which was rather a shock to all of us. :0)
Moth is looking quite sprightly again and is being a Herd of Cat up and down the stairs. She loves the place I've set up her heating pad - although it now looks as though she'll need a new one. I am just glad she's living long enough to need a new one! She is addicted to hard green catnip past squares, which she gets at my bedtime. So now she comes and gets me when it's my bedtime.
We have had snow! It was very pretty and very cold. Pol had an exciting drive home trying to miss the worst of it. I took a picture of our local landmark In Snow and sent it to my sister who showed it to my mum. Today, we started with graupel, then snow, then hail, then sleet, then thunder, lightning and rain. Now there's goodness knows, since it's too dark to tell.
We also had Lack of Heating. The boiler broke down while I was in the middle of a shower. It fixed itself briefly, or Pol fixed it, but then it broke down again while I was attempting shower mark two. It then stayed broken all weekend until shortly after I got home. Now the house is warm.
Socially, I met Simon and agreed to go to his game. He came over to do the chargen with me, and we had a nice evening, or I thought so. Random did appropriate background music, bless. I am looking forward to playing my new character.
Saintmary agreed to put me up on Friday night after arrangements for my lift to Peterscroft in the morning fell through. Not only that, but she and Stuart and Tim gave me Women in Egypt, a book I absolutely would have bought for myself. I love it. I had a nice time and Kevin's game nearly finished, but not quite. Then there was Party. I had a good chat with Diane about gardening and with ccooke about the Tom and Jerry Suicide cartoon. Just as I was wilting and feeling as though I'd really like to crawl home and nurse my headache, Random showed up, begging a shower. I went home with her, then sat up fretting about Pol. I was shown Sims of Geekhouse. There's a Sim Random, and a Sim me, and a Sim Pol, and a Sim Moth the cat, in a Sim Geekhouse. It was disturbing, but cool.
