Things that have happened in the last few days:
- I have almost died when a plane thought it was a Jeep;
- I have seen wild dolphins in the sea off Wales;
- I have sat on a ferry and watched one of the most important historical moments of recent times, with tears rolling down my face - in a bar, on Sky News;
- I havedriven passengered fourteen hours in a car from Waterford to Brighton;
- I have been to Avebury, and will be back again on Thursday;
- I have been in the Atlantic off the coast of Ireland and jumped into fifteen feet of water from a height, while virtually unable to swim;
- I have deleted huge passages of fic and re-written it, but I think I'm finally getting somewhere;
- I have booked tickets to see Four Year Strong at the Underworld! Hurrah! Tiny venues FTW.
- I have had a phoneline installed! Woot!
- Our internet was not - but it will be by the weekend, in theory: I shall return!
In the meantime - my laptop seems to be overheating. It almost burns to touch it underneath and it's nothing to do with the battery. I'm taking it to PCWorld tomorrow to get it sorted out; it's insured, but it's also still underwarranty so I should be fine. It could take up to two weeks to get it back, though... *flails* THE HORROR. Julie has her laptop, though, and I have my sidekick, so I should manage - but all my fic will be gone and I will be screwed. I'd kind of like to get TWNW 14 posted before I go, to be honest. I don't know if it'll happen, but watch this space. Or rather, the space where you know it will be, because it won't be here.
But yeah - I hope everyone is okay. You'll have to update me when I'm back, because I'm sure there's stuff I've missed. xo
(Also, happy birthday for yesterday, Joe; even if everyone else forgot...)
