We went on Saturday to a friend’s baby’s christening in Ealing Abbey. The Hobbits got excited about going to London, had a wild time getting lost in the Abbey – yes, we had a complete panic, LOL – and went to bed late. We ordered room service for a late-night dinner. Samwise wondered where the food would come from as the room had no kitchen. The Ent and I told them the food faeries would bring it. *snort*

The poor waiter who brought it was greeted with a chorus of ‘It’s the food faerie! It’s the food faerie!’ Not sure he appreciated it, LOL

Then this morning we left the hotel with Samwise wondering whether there would be breakfast faeries and drove down to the Embankmant. We spotted some of our favourite buildings: Battersea Powerstation and the new MI6 building (I know, odd taste in architecture, but we like them, LOL)

Then we crossed Lambeth Bridge and took this picture from a speeding car, LOL:

and then we crossed again at Westminster Bridge. This is the less idyllic view:

Then I managed to get a pic of one of my favourite buildings, the Gerkin as be crossed Tower Bridge:

We got back about 8pm and I’m flagging now it’s 10pm. I think it might be time for bed…

Shame I don’t knit, LOL

Blogger was being a bit of a bugger a few weeks back, so I left the attempt to upload my Blogger posts to WordPress. Today I popped back, and there it was saying import whatever you want. Woot!

So here I am, everything uploaded in one place.

I really have gone to the dark side… A Mac and WordPress. *snort

Oh and I’ve also had a play about with my Myspace Page. It looks better… hopefully LOL

Play spot me *grin*

My website decided to have a freak yesterday. Paragraphs were a thing of the past as were some of the links. I have a WYSIWYG web tool called Goldfish. It’s very good for somethings, but generally hates text in clumps of more than a 100 words. Which is a bugger when I have excerpts *sigh*

I spent 12 hours on it. Then had to walk away before I through something at the screen. I sorted out a long term bug over one picture which came to me literally at the 11th hour. So very pleased about that.

I also have some news over at my other blog:

which is rather nice *grin*

I just posted DARK HOST into the unknown… Well, not exactly unknown. It zapped off to the editor overseeing the On The Prowl anthology for Samhain. Hopefully, this will be third time lucky on an anthology submission. So fingers crossed.

Oh and the cover is the inside of the Burj al Arab hotel in Dubai. It’s the main inspiration for the Pagidion, the neural-ship on which DARK HOST is set *grin*

Today I was angry. Really angry. Vesuvius-on-crack angry.

The situation that made me go up like a hypernova was completely unexpected. But the odd thing was, that I knew something seriously negative was going to happen about twelve hours before.

I went to sleep Sunday night with a serious feeling of forboding. All the morning, I kept having flashes of unease. Then two o’clock… bam… Eta Carinae takes out a corner of the known universe and the day got progressively worse from there. So it seems that negative emotions travel back in time, for me at least. Wonder if positive emotions work the same way. Maybe I’ll be grinning like a loon Thursday night, since the Euromillion lottery is drawn on Friday. That event would certainly solve my really, really shitty day.

To leave the post bizarrely, because it’s far too late and I can’t sleep (see above), here’s something else from my You Tube obsession of the moment:
