Sorry I've not posted much lately. Here's a random list of things for you:


1) ceiling: Do you remember when my bathroom ceiling fell down last November? Well I've had that red sheet there ever since and I've been really lucky as it hasn't leaked. Until now. Very stormy here last night and this morning and I woke up to find water coming through the sheet. I've had to take the sheet down to dry it out and have spent most of the morning mopping up water and hoping it'll dry soon so the sheet can go back. What a waste of a day off work. This is how it looks right now and you can clearly see the water stains where it's still leaking.







2) paper legends: I fell a little behind with my Big Bang reading after a good start, but I'm doing well again now and have read about 20 of the stories so far. I'm hoping to get through a few more this weekend too. So if you're looking for amazing Merlin stories to read, then check out the masterlists over at [livejournal.com profile] paperlegends; you won't be disappointed =)

3) autumn: I'm so glad summer is finally over and autumn is here as I'm one of those (apparently) strange people who like the cold and the dark. Not the rain so much though, obviously (see above). I've also been making lots of casseroles and soups lately because 1) they're cheap 2) they can last for days and 3) they're delicious =) AND SPROUTS ARE BACK! Yes, I'm one of those (apparently) strange people who loves and adores sprouts.

4) photos: Just a few random photos for you from the last couple of weeks, as I really don't have anything else interesting to update with:

My beach a couple of weeks ago:


One of my best friends Rosie who I worked with, who has now left to go back to Uni in Brighton:


Peter and I went to Marwell Zoo a couple of weeks ago and for the first time EVER during one of our trips he bought me a present from the gift shop; he said he got it because I like Merlin so much:



Hope you're all doing okay ♥

1.) Wow, that does look pretty bad! I hope it'll dry fast and it won't happen again anytime soon. =/

3.) Very strange indeed. :P I like it warm. ;)

4.) I still envy you for living so close to the beach! I'm pretty sure, I tell you that every time you mention the beach.
Anyway, loving the pictures! :) ♥

It has freaked me out quite a bit, mostly fear over the water damage but also partly because I NEED IT COVERED UP NOW as I'm absolutely terrified of spiders coming though =/

Autumn/winter and the cold dark days make me happy in the same was sunshine and light does for most other people.

You're always welcome to come visit my beach ♥

I totally get the fear of spiders! *shudders* I hope they stay away until you can cover it up again. :D

Well, I'm always glad when you're happy. :) Even though I'm already missing the warm weather.

One day I definitely will! ♥ I hope the day that I've actually got the time/money/parental permission will come soon. :D

I might get Deb to come round after work and help me seal it up whether it's dry or not - I really can't handle having it open like that; as you can see, it's pretty big =/

I know you will one day ♥

You should probably wait to seal it up until it's entirely dry anyway - otherwise it might mould... (?) =/

(You could try blow-drying it though.)

It's not the fact that it's damp, but that water is still dripping through.
