Life's rich tapestry.

Bad news the fyrste: I've done something painful to my leg - about 20 minutes into my run last night, something went ping in the back of my calf and now I'm hobbling like Douglas Bader on a pair of peculiarly dodgy Ludlows* - which means I can't exercise; just when I was starting to get back into shape and feeling quite fit and chipper again  I'm liberally slathered in Power Gel, wrapped in an Ace bandage and hoping for the best. ::sigh::

*See The Meaning of Liff  by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd.


Good news #1: I has new Palm! Yay! My old one packed in and I seem to have been waiting for-bloody-evah for the new one to arrive, but arrive it has and now I can has fic again. Yes! And so much new fic out there in all my shiny, happy, perfect fandoms.*

*Anyone looking for excellence in Doc-Master fic could do worse than a mosey over to
[community profile] best_enemies where they're running an anonymous porn meme that is producing some rather lovely stuff so far...

Bad news the seconde: I'm still struggling to write (insert sad face). I finished my crappy short story - I had two days to bang it out before the deadline, which I did and posted it off, even though I know it's terrible - but since then, I've been doing a lot of staring at a blankly mocking screen. ::sigh:: I'm sure it's just a matter of poor self-discipline and not enough tea but it's a worry...

Good News #2: Morrisons have started selling Rose Pouchong tea! I no longer have to buy it online at great expense. This is excellent news.

Bad news the thyrde: I'm not going to GMOH. It hurts (oh how it hurts) but it's the only sensible decision in the circumstances.

Good News #3: At 3.22am last night, I  finished reading the EDA*  'The Ancestor Cell' - a book I like, but am somewhat ambivalent about re: certain monkeying with the Faction Paradox (and I'll never forgive any of them for what they did to Fitz) - but a rollocking read nonetheless (and a far, far better Time War than anything Rusty's come up with so far). It's not only the end of the Time-War arc, but the last (for a while) of the books I've already read. I'm starting on mostly new-to-me EDAs. I've read the odd one here and there but most are new and shiny So I has new books squee! (Geez, I live a quiet life these days).

*Eighth Doctor Adventure.

Such is my life on this, the seventeenth day of April in the year of Our Lord, two thousand and eight. How about you, my lovelies? How's it going in your corner of this lovely planet?

Ouch, That's a bummer and a half, about your leg. Yay on your new palm. I've been busy podficcing while my husband is out of town, but he's coming back this weekend, so I'll be shifting back to writing again, as I've hardly done anything new for several weeks. (Still got loads of Ball and Chain, the next part in A Fair Distance to shovel over to T. for beta'ing).

We had cold,crappy weather but it's turning nice again, which means I need to see if the lawnmower will work and plant the rest of the spring garden.

Take Care and enjoy your tea,
Laurie

enjoy your tea

I will, thank you. I'm happily addicted to Rose Pouchong and it's brilliant to find it in a bog-standard supermarket at last. Their cheese bread is wonderful too. Go Morrisons. *g*

The weather's beautiful here but still chilly and such a late spring! At least it's stopped snowing. (o:

And more AFD/B&C - They can probably hear me squee in Manchester. *g*
