pensnestOh, dear LAWD I want these boots. I think my Lance has just found Adam's birthday present and is wondering whether to add a matching cock ring bracelet.
FIL's house sale has, in the nick of time, Exchanged Contracts. He should have the money to buy a dwelling in Tasmania while we are out there trying to help him find one. (Assuming I survive the flight. I think I'm getting a cold. Woe. I hate aeroplanes.) We have spent much of the day sorting out financial details that banks were being unhelpful about—astonishingly, pension services seem to be quite willing to sort things out within two minutes, which helped a lot. Just as well, since FIL flies out tomorrow.
Watched 'Master and Commander', which Beast discovered in our DVD collection, rather to my surprise. Much better than I expected. Interesting collection of recognisable faces—Paul Bettany being surprisingly beautiful, and there was Baby!Justin!Boy ie the really good Octavian from "Rome" but even younger. Like, nine. And Pippin.
We spent yesterday in Norwich with the brats. The cat survived the journey reasonably well but was thoroughly bewildered to find herself in an alien world when we arrived, refused to come out of her shuttlecraft for ages, and was last seen hiding behind the sofa. I dare say she will have claimed a domain by the time we go to fetch her back. Bun will probably enjoy having a pet to stroke, even if Socks isn't quite as fascinating as her flatmate's snake. (That would sound even more dubious if I'd typed 'pussycat' instead of 'pet', wouldn't it...)
I have achieved a... portion of my Kradam holiday exchange fic. Have severe doubt that I shall finish it before we leave, though. *grrr*
