Yesterday bateleur and I celebrated our eighth wedding anniversary. My parents were babysitting so we went to Swans (the best local restaurant) and then came home for drinks. It appears that we have managed to settle into a routine, see this !

Additionally Frances sent me a detailed review of Mourn's Gift. It agreed with most of the points that chrestomancy (and bateleur) made and gave me some ideas of how to improve the structuring of my writing to make a detailed plot more understandable (not to mention dealing with the problems caused by a cast of thousands). Some of this won't come in until I start book number three, though, 'cos my second book is over half-way through. There was also another vote for Obero as favourite character (who she described as "a slightly conceited shiny pigeon"). That gives Obero two votes, Mire one and Varilor one. And that copy will now be passed to venta.

My mother returned the Buffy and Angel tapes for episodes in the late-teens and the Hex trilogy (which she enjoyed) in exchange for the end of Buffy and Angel and bateleur's copy of Waking Dream. She'll also get the latest Harry Potter - once bateleur has finished with it.

All in all, a good day.

She'll also get the latest Harry Potter - once bateleur has finished with it.

So sometime in 2005 then, judging by its apparent size and my lightning fast reading pace !

And judging by some of the reviews I'd have more fun downloading a random megabyte of Potter fanfic off the net and reading that. (Aside from the risk that it'd contain Harry/Rowlings or something similarly scary...)

Yay!
Will try and wrest it from Frances' grubby paws when I get home tonight...

Congratulations, both of you (and your parents, obviously).

(and your parents, obviously)

? Not sure I understand you.

Don't worry - I was talking to the babies. I'm afraid nights unleash the twisted attempts at bad humour that my saner side normally represses for the common good.

Can I get in the Mourn's Gift queue as well?

Only once everyone else who could possibly want to read it has done so, naturally.

[lathany.livejournal.com]

OK. I should warn you that it's moving slowly.

Congrats!

I'm certain never to get on the Mourn's Gift queue, of course, due to lack of proximity if nothing else. That's OK, just don't publish it until I'm wealthy enough to be able to buy it. :)

Congratulations. It's good to see at least
one couple that seems to be stable. :)

Congratulations :).

Without sounding odd, it's kind of inspiring knowing that couples can work that I know, rather than just my parents...

I think Kate and Dan come into that as well ;)

What about chrestomancy and Frances ? I have to admit, I have no idea how they work, but they do.

And then there's cuthbertcross and Rob. Soon to be more locally based.

I think Kate and Dan come into that as well ;)

Was that written just so floralaetifica could read it ?! That might be considered stirring y'know... (although I agree with you ;-) ).

Eight years?

That makes me... umm...

[counts on fingers]

guys, how many fingers do you count to get to eight

[cuthbertcross.livejournal.com]

it depends if you've had any removed by the latest psycho driver who cut you up on the way to work.
Try counting on someone elses fingers....
