1. Hey, so it's proper cold today, isn't it - you'd almost think it was winter! I could have done without the freezing rain while I walked home from work, though. I got soaked to the skin, which isn't going to do much good for the cold I've come down with.

2. Baker Boys is back for a second series at last! Hooray! I almost missed it, though - didn't realise it was back until I spotted episode two in the listing for last night. Luckily for me, though, iPlayer came to the rescue by having it on series catch up, so all is well.

3. Also on my telly at the moment: the new series of Garrow's Law. I was rather devastated by last week's episode, though. They killed Southouse! No! Seriously, Alun Armstrong must never die on-screen again, I can't take it.

4. I was feeling very organised earlier this week, since I managed to get all my international Christmas cards in the post, as well as all my local cards into the Scout Post. I have to be careful, though, because this is where I always get complacent, every year - I feel so organised that I completely forget to write my cards for the rest of the UK until it is almost too late to catch the Christmas post!

5. We have a new member of staff joining my team on Monday, on a fixed term contract until the end of February as maternity cover. And not before time! I won't know myself, only having to be one and a half people instead of three after being so chronically short-staffed for so long!

6. I'm currently binging on Classic Doctor Who. The trouble with this, as opposed to other show marathons, is that there's so damn much of it, the marathon could go on for quite some time! It's great fun, though, exploring the history of the show and the history of the Doctor, discovering some stories for the first time and rediscovering others that I remember watching as a child (or reading; I think I know more stories from the novelisations than from seeing the actual episodes!)

7. My website is currently down and has been for some time. I doubt anyone's actually noticed, since I've not updated it for a very long time. My lovely host rosely is planning to take down Liquid Deception permanently, so the also very lovely nikkimisplaced has offered to host me instead, if only as an archive. Trouble is, I decided to overhaul the site and give it a good tidy, rather than just transfer it as is, and what with one thing and another, it's taking longer than I'd hoped. I'm getting there, though, so fingers crossed it'll be back online sometime soon.

I noticed! I hoped it was a glitch and meant to go back and check later on, but hadn't yet... I was going to recommend it to someone, too... *g* I'm glad it's coming back!

Yeay for new team members, and for being organised, and boo for having a cold - feel better soon!

Eeee, actual incentive to finish the work! I should press on with that, then.

My goodness, LJ is being a bitch tonight.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Well, to be fair, it's the hackers that are being bastards tonight... *g*

And yes - press on, press on! *vbg*

[llywela13.livejournal.com]

True, true. The hackers are being bastards and this is causing LJ to be a bitch to negotiate.

I will try to get the site back up and running soon. It'll be a good distraction from Christmas card writing tomorrow, perhaps, if nothing else crops up (as it usually does at the weekend).

Ah, the website dilemma is still going on then. I hope you'll get it up again. I like to check in there from time to time. :)

I know, I feel bad because it's been so long - I've just had so little free time to sit down and sort through all the coding that needs to be changed and work out which pages to keep and which to get rid of, etc. I'm nearly there now, though.

Aww, your icon kind of makes me want to have a Firefly marathon this hiatus!

Garrow's Law was wonderfully sad. What is he going to do without his mentor?

We have cold rain here tonight - fortunately I got home before it started - but winter is certainly settling in :)

I sobbed my way through the closing stages of that episode. Damn but it really got to me! I just don't expect that from Garrow's Law, which is usually quite dry! It'll be interesting to see how the loss of Southouse affects both Garrow and the structure of the show, as he's always had such a huge role to play.

I want a card! *sulks*

PM me your address and you shall have one, Cinderella :)

You in there someplace, Lady??? I can get so lost in the bottom of my own clothes closet at times that I very nearly end up throwing the whole lot away, and maybe myself into the bargain, just to be rid of the hassles.

As for hackers and website troubles, I'm sorry you are so afflicted. Don't know what this cyber-world is coming to, I don't, and reasonably happy to leave it that way. You younger ones will be able to sort it out, I'm sure . . . and I'll just sit up on my tidy cloud and cheer for you!!

Hallo, you. :)

Want to hear a happy story about last night. While trudging home in the cold and the rain, I lost an earring and was rather upset about it. But then when I got home and changed out of my damp clothes, I discovered that the earring wasn't lost after all - it was caught in my bra! Talk about luck.

OMG - I was going to ask you about Baker Boys last week! Thank goodness for iPlayer! :)

I didn't know you had a website!

[llywela13.livejournal.com]

Oh aye, I've had the website for ages - and it's been linked from my journal all that time. ;) You wouldn't have spotted it, though, as mostly what I post there are reviews for shows you don't watch. It also hosts all my icons, though. Although not any more, as it is currently defunct.

Urgh, I hope you're feeling much better soon *hugs* And that the rain holds off until you can shake off the cold.

Go you being so organised with your Christmas cards! I only thought about them recently, am now in a mad dash to get them done.
