*waves from holiday land*

[elisi]

Hello there! How's things? I've been skimming my flist every day, but there are so many of you that I gave up trying to read fics or recs... *sigh*

Oh but I have two birthdays to deal with first: I hope mgal and jenjojen had/have Fabulous Days with all the goodness there is! *hugs*

So, what can I say... the holiday is lovely and *very* relaxing! It's cool and a bit too wet, but I have no housework except tidying up a little and loading the dishwasher from time to time. And it's lovely to sleep in and have lots of time with everyone (although the children are getting increasingly silly)! Then there's the whole 'walking through my childhood/old life' bit that's very nice, but so familiar as not to be spectacular unless something has changed (like not seeing your face in a mirror for 2 years - it's not like you're going to forget what it looks like). Such as 'The Old Bookshop' (yes that is its actual name) which has been the same *forever* and has now been completely done up inside in shiny Scandinavian design. *sigh*

Anyway, if you're curious, this is what the weather is like at the moment, my parents' house is just a little to the right:

Must run (again) - but will try to be back for another mini-report tomorrow.

Hee! Yes it's prettier in the daytime. :) And if I could afford to ship everyone up here, I'd totally do it!

Hello. I just stumbled upon a link to one of your stories at buffyversetopfive and followed it here. Have greatly enjoyed Lost Soul and Play It Again Sam and will be reading more. I notice you have a link to The Soulful Spike Society, which is "my" virtual community, and find I am curious about how you know us. I discovered that Nan Dibble rec'd Lost Soul on our Reading Recommendations thread, perhaps that is the connection?

I added a Rec for PIAS here:

Hello! *waves*

Extraordinarily pleased that you enjoyed my fic! And having followed your link I'm now all blushing from the praise! Squee! (Nan Dibble rec'd me? I might just have to frame that and put it on my wall!)

As for how I found S3 then I really can't remember - it was way back when I was first making my way around the fandom (post-Chosen), and was looking for reviews/analysis and came across Spring Summers's stuff and really liked the site! Never really thought of joining anything back then (didn't think I'd have anything to contribute... considering how *impossibly* wordy I've turned out to be, that always amuses). Ended up on LJ, but really like S3 and have a look in from time to time, and know a few of you through LJ. :)

THank you! It was great!

Thank you so much for the sweet birthday wishes. It was a stress-free, low maintenance day which is all I really wish for anymore. You know how that goes. :) *huggle*

[elisi]

Sounds like the perfect day! *hugs*
