Nothing wrong with 1 April icemist. It's my birthday!

Noticed Google are celebrating anniversary of Little House on the Prairie. I used to love that. There seemed to be thousands of episodes.

I'm going to add slanket fun to my list of euphemisms. Maybe we could come up with a manual aimed at the more mature end of the market....

Yes- will be the lack of army gear and having to work in South africa heat.

More mature? ?? I hope you mean in terms of real age rather than mental age!!

Which goes to show he should always be in army gear and preferably taking part in very strenuous activities (swivel chair optional).

Reading some old ff and I really like LaceyBird's work. She's also posted last night an old unfinished piece which has a very melancholy feel.

Just watched reign. Well I mean I ff through to the ba bits while trying to stop the kids killing each other. What is still about Saturday mornings?! If was in a fair bit this time, but not as gorgeous to me as CJ. Still gonna watch him though!!! Another cold football morning for us, have a good day all xx

Just reread what I wrote, can't type on my phone with kids pulling at me. Aaagh!!

I do quite like him in Reign. His hair could be a bit shorter though...but definitely much fitter in OG

Yes, he's still lust-worthy in Reign, but if I'd only seen that and not OG, I wouldn't have become obsessed. I'd just have thought 'Hmm, nice looking man with goblet and possible shag rug.' I love the chiseledness of his features in OG and hair much nicer too. Forearms, chunky watch, etc,etc as well.

Very quiet at mine this morning. Ds still asleep (was at party til 3 am ), dd not dressed and on laptop, dp left early for meeting (hopefully not team). Trying to summon enthusiasm for food shopping but thinking will probably end up dragging them out for late brunch somewhere.

My head is pounding still so I have convinced DH to take DS to cross country, tbh he never normally goes so really about time! It's all about tea and buttered white bread toast. pixie I could do with your slanket, but not up for RL Chris, what with the head and that!

What's a slanket? (Asks the prairie house naive girl)
And can please someone post link to wahjeb latest story? :-) might gonna need some distraction

I also have a vase full of daffodils on the kitchen top, smell too intense for my liking now, but never been tempted to eat them...

A slanket is a fleece blanket with sleeves to keep you warm and cosy

Yay, ds has emerged from his bed unscathed from the excesses of last night. He got the munchies when he came in in the early hours and shared a tin of tuna with the cat and I'd been slightly concerned that it wouldn't mix well with whatever alcohol had been consumed.

Going for brunch now, then shopping for new suit for ds (sixth form dress code). Food shopping can wait!

icemist you make me chuckle - you're like our oracle. Do you snuggle in a slanket in your bunker?

Just asked ds what had been drunk last night - teapot cocktails!!

No slankets needed... Enough warmth looking at pictures of CJ/KA

Watched Reign...... doesn't do it for me. At least he had a few more lines in this episode. I like historical dramas however Reign's portrayal no way.

Been spoiled by CJ in Our Girl infinitely better, perhaps it's the uniform always did like a man in uniform .

orphan I'm curious now! Is that a specific cocktail or just a cocktail served in a teapot?

BA is lovely in reign, but the show isn't great is it? How can any agent who claims to be half decent not sort him out with a better role?

whajeb - for some reason ff site isn't letting me review . Just read new story, it's great - well done!

It's a cocktail in a teapot and you pour it out into glasses.

It must be hard being an actor- you need the roles to pay bills etc...

Really shows what a great writer TG is and how well the production team and directors did in bringing it to life.

onlygirl the login page to accounts on fanfiction is down and has been since at least about 6am this morning. I've got an update loaded on there and ready to publish but I can't access it. I checked on one of those website monitor sites and loads of people are complaining about it. Its a pity they don't put a notice on their home page.

wwww.isitdownrightnow.com says the site's been down for nearly 9 hours and is undergoing maintenance. Worryingly someone commented "they are probably blanket deleting people's work again without warning wouldn't be the first time" I hope not! I thought they automatically cleared stuff from your document manager after 90 days. Let's hope it is that and not that they've been hacked.

whajeb I love your new story. Really good, poor Molly!!!
