1) icons: I've made a huge load of icons in the last week or so. Have kept 84 and deleted at least as many again. Hoping my icon-fu is back this time. For some stupid reason I always think Thursday will be a popular day to do my icon posts, comments-wise. Will post them tomorrow and we'll see, I guess.

2) reading: Set myself a target of reading 3 of the paperlegends BB fics this weekend as Peter wasn't around, and I did it. Have now read 25 in total so at least I'm over halfway. Also made the time to re-read (again!) one of my absolute favourite stories ever; What Child is This by lamardeuse. I can't even begin to tell you how happy this story makes me and if you've not read it yet, you should!

3) bathroom: I now have a bathroom ceiling again. The freeholder, as I've mentioned before, is a pig of a man who insisted he wouldn't claim it on the insurance but would get his handymen to do it and that they would only plasterboard it and basically just 'make it right'. I know his handymen though and get on well with them, and they have now also plastered and artexed it and said they'll try and come back and paint the whole bathroom. Before and after pics:





4) halloween: Halloween is my favourite holiday. I spent years and years taking my little brothers trick-or-treating but now they're all way too old for that, I'm instead looking forward to this weekend of pumpkin carving and horror movie watching with Peter. Usually at work I'll also get to do some pumpkin carving with the service users, but there's not been time this year, and Peter says he want's me to carve a 'traditional' pumpkin this year i.e. triangles for eyes and a zig-zag mouth. As I told him, he is stifling my creativity, and below are the pumpkins I carved at work last year as proof:




Hope you all have a wonderful Halloween weekend ♥

To ACTUALLY pick my top 5 I would 1) have to have a gun pointed at my head (which is almost the phrase I was going to use in my earlier comment and 2) have a bit of a trawl through my Delicious bookmarks and then agonize for (probably) hours.

Here's my tag of Merlin recs, and if you scroll down a little there's a whole heap I recced in April. And another big fic rec dump in January too.

Other than that, you should check out my Delicious bookmarks, and there's quite a variety of tags there to help you narrow it down =)

But. That's not really helpful to you right now so.... off the top of my head here's some I'd tell you to read RIGHT NOW if you haven't already:


Two Weeks Notice
There's No MakeBelieving
What's a Boy To Do...
Lovestruck (love this a stupid amount)
Think Less and See it Grow
Lemon Meringue

Enough for now? If you've read all them, let me know and I'll try harder.

OR! Come stay at Hotel Muppet sometime and spend time laying around eating chocolate and browsing through these:
