Mornin' all.

Coherent account of my lovely, dull weekend to follow, but this was too good not to post:

cute, large image, but not for the squid-phobic (hey, I don't know what you guys are scared of, and Mondays are hard enough already )

Happy Monday, people.

Seriously, what is it with the weather at the moment? We had 4 glorious days (or thereabouts) and now? It's raining so hard on the windowed roof of the library that it's hard to hear youself thinking in the main reading room. Apparently the weather doesn't know that the library is a silent study area :S Still, we're water-tight for the moment, so that's something. The readers, on the other hand, are arriving looking like they waded through swollen rivers to get here.

[livejournal.com profile] white_hart, [livejournal.com profile] dyddgu, if it's still like this at lunchtime, I might be staying in the staff room...

In other news, I slept last night. Yes, yes, I know, generally that's news on a par with 'water wet, sky blue (or, you know, grey)' but for me at the moment that's HUGE. A whole night's sleep! From about 11pm to 5am. JOY! I also have some feedback on my Big Bang which makes me giddy-happy. I LOVE getting nit-picky notes where people make me really *think* about what I wrote and whether I meant it, and how I can re-write it so it works for both/all of us. Editing is much for fun than writing for me, which is probably why I plan to scrap the last chapter and start over. Nearly there! And we've had so many stories and so much art in already that it's AWESOME :D

No list today, because there's so much to do it seems largely pointless - I could do something off it by the time I've finished typing it! Instead, let me recommend Zoo Borns to you again and show you what I got in my email this morning. Brace yourselves for the cute + bonus bird picture )

How's everyone doing out there? Less damp than Oxford, I hope! And just think, we're a day closer to the weekend. Woot!

Brrrrr

It's so cold! When I got up this morning, the sky was the most amazing colour, with a blood red streak all across the horizon. It could have been 'red sky in the morning', although I half-hoped it was the result of a sacrifice to the weather gods, placating them so that they'd let it warm up later in the day.

Anyway, the river at the bottom of the garden has actually frozen now, something that hardly ever happens. So I thought it warranted some pictures. Apologies for slight blurriness on some of them - I refused to take my gloves off to take them!

Sooooo cold! )

My mother was sent these by a friend in Romania, and since [livejournal.com profile] dyddgu didn't get the promised snow and I know [livejournal.com profile] rustydog loves this kind of thing, I have wrestled with LJ's scrapbook for the first time and uploaded them all.

The day the sea froze.

After doing some digging around, I'm fairly sure it's the Black Sea at Constanta in Romania. There are some previews under the cut.

Just incredible )
