Rambling about fic, life and lots of other bits and pieces

[bookaddict43]

The mods at reel_merlin have extended the time for first drafts. Thank god. Because I'm not happy with my story. I am happy that I've actually written something, even though there are gaps. But I think the story is boring and that maybe I've done too much scene by scene re-telling. Hmmmm...Heads up to intinerant_vae and strangevisitor7! You may soon recieve said boring fic in your email for comment.

Today we went to the local markets and ended up with a kitten. The LG would not be gainsayed *sigh*. The kitten (christened Midnight) is very cute, but I really didn't want something else to look after. Rex the dog is very puzzled and he and the kitten are currently pretending the other doesn't exist!

In two weeks time I'm off to Cairns to compete in a Masters swimming carnival. I'm not too sure how I feel about this - it's 32 years since I swam competitively.

The LG has been keeping us in fish lately. His enthusiasm knows no bounds where fishing is concerned. Check out the photo behind the cut...



The LG (who really isn't little anymore. He's taller than every other child at school, his teacher and the principal), is busy with football (Rugby League) and other sports. Last Thursday he won the cross-country at school and this week is off to the district competition.

It's looking like rain outside and I'm planning Chicken Kiev and roast veges for dinner. What are you guys having?

Are you telling me that you make homemade Chicken Kiev?! Can I come over for dinner? How much are tickets to Australia? *g*

Wow, that is a big damn fish. Good job LG!

I am telling you that *nods*. You may come any time you like. I'm told that Qantas has cheap flights occassionally. :DD

Woah, what a big fish. Good for him. Chicken Kiev - I love that!

I went out and had a steak and baked potato. Yum.

The steak sounds pretty yummy! I could go for one right now :D

The place I go to makes great steaks. I'm always happy when I'm there!

Congrats on the kitten (my dog & cat have been together for over 2 yrs now and still aren't sure about each other half the time).

Wow! what a big fish!

The kitten is creating some fun in the house. She currently has the dog bluffed - he's terrifed of her :D
