Christmas card from shrinetolust!!! Thank you, lovely! :)

I am tired of the winter. It goes on too long.

pepysdiary went to the pub last night and "had a very fine dinner, good musique, and a great deal of wine. We staid here very late, at last Sir W. Pen and I home together, he so overcome with wine that he could hardly go; I was forced to lead him through the streets and he was in a very merry and kind mood."

I'm sorry, the novelty will wear off soon.

Trying to do my DiR Christmas fic, but is slooooow. May end up being an after-Christmas fic, which ought to work all right.

They did not make us play games at our work Christmas dinner, I am pleased to report. They just put packs of party poppers and modelling balloons on the tables, so the forced jollity was at least bearable. At least I appeared to be at the non-racist end of the table this year. Posh-ish country hotel, food average to good. Ish. We had crackers, too. In mine, I got the usual weak joke, plus something the Yorkshire Ripper said at his trial. S got a small false Hitler-style moustache. How seasonal. I mean ... wtf?

Oooh, you got it before Christmas!! Hurrah!! Thanks ever so much sweetie, for the Empire mag--it arrived in pristine condition! I admire you immensely--it took me a chainsaw and various instruments of torture to get the package open...lol...so the boys were well-protected. I squeed like mad!! It's so lovely!! *hugs you*

What is it with Christmas party festivities?? At my work party a couple years ago they wanted us to take pictures of one another with one of those insta-sticker cams, and then affix the pics to a cardboard Christmas tree, adding captions in cartoon bubbles. That is the point when I said, "Oh, have a party to plan, must go, thank you muchly!!" Of course I couldn't quite escape until they'd taken a highly unflattering photo of me so I didn't get out fast enough...argh!! Non-racist end of the table is good...that same year the boss and I ended up at the non-English speaking end of the table. Made things rather interesting! :P

Hope you have a very Merry Christmas, dearest...and would you mind contemplating over the holiday if you could do another beta for me? It's a VigOrli (*gasps heard round the world*)--but it's a sequel to the last VigBeanie you did for me--More or Less. Orli was only supposed to appear for a couple of pages, and well, I'm on pg.25 right now and he's still there..so it appears there is going to have to be a part III now, where Sean reappears...that is if Orli lets him. :P

xxooo

Glad the mag made it safely, and that you managed to get into the package!

Sure, I'd be happy to help - send me the goods whenever. :) (I will endeavour not to be my usual tardy self...)
