There must be some Toros in the atmosphere.

Jesus fuck, it's cold. We had snow! Only a tiny sprinkling that didn't really settle, but still, snow! And now I'm shivering under my duvet because the house is so cold; we don't have any loft insulation (yet!) and none of the windows are double-glazed. We can't even get double glazing because our house is a listed building (it's super old, dating from something like the mid-18th century) and so we have to keep ye olde windowes forevermore. Sigh. In conclusion: COLD.

I signed up for an Archive of Our Own invite in preparation for yuletide and I have to say, it's really shiny! I've only uploaded one fic so far but the import feature is AWESOME. Very impressed. I really ought to spend the evening working on my Yuletide fics but I'll probs be uploading all my stuff to AO3 instead.

No joke, I must say "Brr, it's cold in here..." etc etc at least four times a day. AMAZING.

I hardly remember anything about the film, but I'm pretty sure I'll be quoting that bit for the REST OF MY LIFE.

Cold is right, I'm continuously moping around the apartment with a blanket wrapped around me!

You got a nice mention in FS today (no168):

i usually love the snow but i fucking HATE how the whole of london grinds to a complete stand still. THERE IS SOMEWHERE I HAVE TO BE TOMORROW AND IF I CANT GET THERE I SHALL CRY!

/rant

i don't have double glazing either and there is a freeezing draft coming through my window onto my face right now
yes i agree
IT IS COLD!!!!

LOL yes, our transport is completely useless for dealing with snow! Hope you managed to get to wherever you needed to be. :D

I want to see your house! Do you have any pics?

[botherd.livejournal.com]

I don't think I do, but I'll try to take some! I'm guessing you won't have the time to visit over Christmas?

[haz-l.livejournal.com]

Would LOVE to visit, esp cos I'm assuming it's in the COUNTRYSIDE? I haven't seen countryside in months and a wintry long walk would be amazing *_* Sam and I were talking about visiting and I think if we do it'll have to be the 27th? Cos we leave Leic on the 28th. Is it fairly easy to bus to? I can't drive cos no insurance :(

[botherd.livejournal.com]

Yes, countryside! I haven't actually been on a proper countryside walk yet but it's not far.

Sadly two problems with the 27th - we're probably going to visit our Nan that day, and it's a Sunday which means no buses. :((( I guess the only other option would be Xmas Eve, you could bus here in the morning (the bus ride is super long though, over an hour from St Margaret's) and we all bus back to yours in the evening for dinner. (Or we could have dinner here, but then I'd feel like we'd be ~shunning your mum because we've had it at yours for the past few years. Plus you'd have to taxi back.)

... unless you're busy that day, in which case we probs can't do anything.

Christmas eve is definitely do-able! We can discuss on the 23rd OMG SO SOON!!! Number 9!
