I smell of dust, old books and bluebells. I'm having a lovely, quiet day... a writerly update. : comments.

Too cool for subject
As my Dad used to say, the sun is always over the yardarm SOMEWHERE in the world, so break out the gin and olives. *g*
I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting... =>}
Always glad to hear you're working on the fan fic, but I wish you MUCH luck with the publishing of the Cuban novel and the writing of the new one.
When we light a fire, we always light some newspaper and hold it up the chimney to get the air going up. Only after that is done do we light the fire. Maybe you know this. If you don't, I hope it helps. Good luck with the chimney problems, too!
::hugs::

I usually light a firelighter and some heather in the chimney about an hour before I light the stove, but the chimney here is *huge* and I don't really know how much good it does v/v warming it.
The fic is coming on but the next chapter is going to be massive. I've already written 2,000 words of notes for Blair; haven;t een started on |Jim yet and that's just the notes - so heaven knows how long it will take to write. (o:
Is that bloomin' baby not here yet? have you tried setting fireworks off outside the house in the early hours?
Too cool for subject
LOL. No fireworks. She lives a two hour drive away from us. A little too far to sneak by in the night. *g*
Ooo! I'm REALLY looking forward to the next chapter now. *bg*
No gin! That's a sin! J. gave me a new bottle for Xmas, to make sure I had enough. Heh heh. I've been having mine 50/50 with cranberry juice and a slice of lemon. It is surprisingly tasty and refreshing. =>}
Merlot will certainly do in a pinch!
Too cool for subject
What brand? I favour Tanqueray myself; Gordon's for second choice.
Too cool for subject
I love gin and cranberry. Although right now, it's cranberry/cherry juice I'm using. I also love maraschino cherries and J. always spoils me by putting three in. Heh heh.
I'll use any "clear" mix that's sweet with gin. Tonic water, cranberry juice, raspberry punch, limeade is VERY tasty with it in summer, as is lemonade (and by this I do NOT mean a soft drink/pop/soda-type beverage, but REAL ade made with the juices of the fruits, or frozen versions thereof), Seven-Up if it's all they have and even orange juice if the "clearer" juices aren't available.
Always LOTS of ice and big slices of lemon or lime depending on my mood. =>}
I am a bit of a gin slut. I'll buy the cheapest going, since I always mix it. It might be Beefeaters or Gordon's but right now J. got me a bottle of Bombay Sapphire for Xmas. I love the blue bottle. *g*
Tanqueray is fine if available. Here, Gordon's is the cheapest and Bombay Sapphire the most expensive available, but only by about $6 difference. I've just seen that Melcher's is a bit cheaper than Gordon's.
Gins available at the SAQ (Sociétés d'Alcools de Québec).
J. prefers that HORRIBLE
crapstuff, Geneva Gin that they drink in Belgium. UGH! ; >}
