I am doing well. I cleaned the fridge yesterday! Today there is more cleaning to be done but also some spending time with a friend and boxing up parcels, so I'm feeling happy-busy. My major accomplishment of whilst you've been gone is to decide that after I've done the flat-tidying that has needed to happen for a bit I shall institute a 30-minute-on-alternating-days writing block. Because I haven't written much lately and I'm wanting to write and I actually have the time at the moment, if I set it aside all official-like.

I am glad you had a good conference, that is wonderful!

I don't have any fiction links to drop your way, sorry! But please do pass on my best wishes to major_jim and his thesis.

As for banana bread recipes, this one is quite tasty: http://codenamebacon.wetpaint.com/page/Harvest+Bread but it also takes a while to prep, so I don't make it too often. But I have carrots and frozen bananas and some free time this evening, so maybe I'll make it later... You can also make it into muffins just by pouring into muffin tins.

Sorry to have nattered on so much, I'll blame the caffeine :)
