pensnestTwenty years of online journal! Yes, 'twas on this day in 2005 that I opened my first LiveJournal page. Wow.
What a fantastic venue it was on which to be a fan. I made many friends, lots of whom I subsequently met in person, and wrote many stories, and read many stories, and had many, many laughs. RIP, LJ, but I'm glad to have DreamWidth nowadays. Nothing could be as much fun as the heady days of popslash, but this is a grownup space and it's a good one.

Musical, and exhausting, weekend just passed—my (women's) chorus had a coach for both days, and we worked pretty hard on both our Convention songs. Very satisfying it was, too. Several of us went off to the Waffle House for a meal on Saturday evening, which was also satisfying, even though we mysteriously failed to burst into song.
Today, I worked in the garden, long overdue, hauling weeds out of one of the raised beds, and removing about three bushels of beech leaves from the heuchera flowerbed. Many weeds, and many leaves, yet to be removed, but I'm pleased with myself for getting started in the lovely weather, which persists—we're even prophesied 22 degrees on Saturday! Which should make for a fun Easter Egg hunt.

Can anyone recommend an audiobook service that is UK based? I don't want to use Audible, and I'd rather not spend any money in the USA unless I must, but it's time to admit that my books on (cassette) tape are no longer a practical option. I like to listen to something—stories or podcasts—while I craft.
