pensnest: Baby Lance and Chris, caption Up to no good (Trickyfish up to no good)

By great good fortune, we managed to be on a tour of Sydney Opera House this morning just at the perfect moment to witness a mass of people in vivid and sparkly garments performing a joyful samba to 'Love is in the Air' on the terrace by the water. They were filming a promo for the stage musical of "Strictly Ballroom", coming soon to a theatre unfortunately on the wrong side of the world from me by the time it opens. Baz Luhrman and all. It put the biggest smile on my face, and Bun and I were very sad that we won't be in town to see the show.

Oh, yes. We're in Sydney. Right now, reclining on the bed to rest my red-hot feet, after the opera house, lunch on Circular Quay, and a long meandering walk through the Botanical Gardens and then all the way back along George Street. The weather is delightful—sunny but not oppressive—and I am most happy to be far from the UK.


Day 22: Fic written specially for you!
The Kirkpatrick Guide to Ageing Gracefully by ocelot summer, for MTYG 2011. Chris is turning forty, and he *still* has a crush on Lance.

Obviously I don't have a story of my own for this category, so instead I will give you yet more proof that I have been really lucky with MTYG stories, there is also Prove Them Wrong by Chalcopyrite, probably the only SeSa story I have ever received that wasn't Trickyfish—it might have been, but it seems Chris just wasn't co-operating and Nick was. An Nsync reunion is in progress but it has its attendant problems, of course.


23rd Pairing you never expected to enjoy, but this story makes it work

Sticking with Chalcopyrite for a while longer, Off-Piste features Kevin/Brian. Now, I don't have any American-style worries about cousin incest, 'cause I don't care, but it's not a pairing that would ever have occurred to me. However, the scene in which Kevin massages Brian's foot is unexpectedly filled with interesting sexual tension, and thereafter, I'm quite prepared to buy into it.

As I included my Brian/Justin story last time round, I don't think I have anything in this category either.

I was wondering if I'd missed a post where you'd gone off to Australia.

Enjoy it, though I'm sure that you will.

What a perfectly fabulous time to be at Sydney Opera House! Very sad you won't be there for the show, though.
