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 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 ♥

Oooh, the beach! I want to go! *needs vacation like whoa*

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! :) ♥

I despair of ever getting all the BB fics read. /o\

[heyhoolou.livejournal.com]

you've lived with that ceiling for almost a year?! D: bb, that's not good at all :( I hope it stays dry *hugs*

your beach looks lovely \o/

Oh, I miss the beach!

Oh, that sucks about your bathroom. :(

Yay for little dragons. ♥

Has much, much envy for beach, I miss the sea side - those are very pretty shots - and YAY for dragons! *G*

I was doing ok with the strangeness of liking the cold and dark, I miss the warm summer and light days with a billion butterfly sneezes, but I absolutely draw the line with SPROUTS! **shrieks** No, no, no, not the sprouts, save me from the evil sprouts!

Your ceiling may have fallen in, but is the actual roof of the building your responsibility? If not, find out who is ok? Water damage can only get worse.

Oh, that bathroom ceiling looks pretty bad :/ I hope it'll dry soon

Well, I'm one of those strange people who hate the cold. And I mean really hate. Cold weather makes me wanna cry :(

Take care, sweetie ♥

Seeing the piccies and all, I so want to visit you again <3

I hope to be able to take a little tour in the UK in 2012, and I hope to see you again!

*hugs*

1. I do recall. And that still sucks. Hopefully you won't have to be mopping up more water any time in the near future :P

2. I am SO BEHIND on reading BB fics, it's not even funny. I haven't read anything in like close to 2 weeks now, and I have a massive list which contains pretty much all of them, minus the A/G ones... So it's going to take me a while, heh ;)

3. I love autumn as well, don't worry! I also like winter, actually, and it gets COOOOLD and snowy here, so I guess that makes me weird too ;). Not a fan of sprouts though, but that's all right... I still think I'm a bit weird, but there's nothing wrong with that :D

4. Ooh! Beach! :D How lovely :D. Also, that's so sweet of Peter to buy you those dragons *grins* :)

*HUGS*

1 - Urgh, that sucks. Hopefully it'll dry out quickly :/ I have a similar problem, but in my bedroom. And I get little puddles of water whenever it rains. Which seems to be almost every day lately.

3 - I am jealous of you going to the beach. I'd never thought I'd say it, but I miss it! :(

DRAGONS \o/

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Random lists ftw!

[mellacita.livejournal.com]

:D I am behind in reading BB, too. I so admire you for trying to read them all!

I love autumn.

[misswinterhill.livejournal.com]

OMG dragons! They're adorable! And I am so envious of your beach -- I'm about 200kms inland. I do have a lake, though, so I'm not exactly water deprived -- and I'm moving closer to it next month!

SPROUT SOUL MATE! I love them too! Have you read any Robert Rankin? In "Armageddon: The Musical", there's a talking time sprout that lives in Elvis's head. (For serious). I also like cool weather because I knit, and so I get to wear my knitting in cool weather more than I do in the summer here, because in the summer here I'm usually slobbing about and going OMG TOO HOT TO DO ANYTHING.

[padfootie.livejournal.com]

I want a beach, too! *pouts*

I hope you'll get the ceiling situation sorted out soon. *crosses fingers*

[arkray.livejournal.com]

I also liek sprouts =) I hope you can fix the ceiling soon, autumms are rainy :/

[prfctdaze.livejournal.com]

Argh! That sucks about the ceiling :( I hope it dries out soon.

The beach photo is lovely. I really miss being on the beach in Florida. It's so peaceful and lifts my spirits.

I am so with you on autumn. It's my favorite season. I love summer/spring and even winter (if it doesn't snow too bad and for too long) but fall is really what I look forward to. It's a bit cold tonight and right now I'm actually making a pot of chili (vegetarian - you could come on over and have dinner with me!) It smells really good :D

Aww...the dragons are adorable ^_^

♥♥♥

Ooh, the beach looks fantastic! We had a lot of sun last two days (after a very crappy week), but it's not the same.

It really suck about your ceiling. Were we living closer, I would've sent Tommy to fix it for you. Alas, I can only keep my fingers crossed it won't give you much problems *hugs*
