Squeeeeeee! Look what I got! :)
The marvelous and talented
kathyh isn't just a brilliant beta-reader, she's also a fantastic icon-maker. After last weeks Dr Who I finally felt the need for a Doctor icon and she made me this one!
::does the Numfar Dance of Joy::
Isn't it brilliant? I don't think it's too spoilery - I did worry a bit, but it's so unspecific that I think I can get away with it. ::pets new icon::
Oh and it's very sharable - as long as you remember to credit Kathy! (Very important!!!)
Sorry I've been so quiet and non-update-y. School's started again and I'm busy ferrying children about and getting up early in the morning... was wondering the other day why I felt so knackered all the time, since I didn't remember being this tired last time I was pregnant. Then it dawned on me, that last time I only had *one* child to look after, and at the time she was only 2 and didn't do much except go to her playgroup - no long treks to school etc.
And speaking of children, it's Impish Girl's 4th birthday on Sunday (I can't believe it! She's my little baby!), so I'll be even busier... although I will probably post Chapter 13 of 'Maybe Someday' tomorrow. But then you can expect a longish gap since I'll have to concentrate on my
summer_of_spike fic. If only there were more hours in the day...
(Heh. The spell checker doesn't know 'knackered'!)

Dr Who is great, isn't it? I've snagged your avatar, as you said we could. ;) I couldn't resist! Will credit

Thanks. We're having a garden party, so we're hoping for nice weather. ::crosses fingers::
Enjoy the icon. I don't usually have an eye for these things, but when I saw that scene I thought "I need an icon of that!!!!"

Happy Birthday to Impish Girl for Sunday.

It's well deserved praise! And I hope it's OK that I told people that they could snag it?
Happy Birthday to Impish Girl for Sunday.
Thank you. Darcy is busy making coconut-shy's (I think that's the correct plural, but I honestly don't know) as I write... (he's very inventive!).
no subject
Course it is. I never mind normally. There was just one incident where I did, but that was entirely different.

Um...nor do I. How's that for giving you confidence in your beta reader *g*. Have a lovely day on Sunday.

Oh, good. I thought it would be, but then I was suddenly struck by doubts...

Well I doubt there ever be a coconut-shy in any of my stories, so that's not something that's going to keep me awake at night... ;)

Sorry to hear you're feeling tired ::hugs::
Happy Birthday to Impish Girl! :)

It's gorgeous isn't it? It was a fairly simple idea, but she took it and made it really work. Wondering why that scene was so very powerful, I think it probably had something to do with seeing RotS just beforehand. Because Anakin's em... 'reaction' to loosing Padme was so OTT and The Doctor was just so incredibly understated and powerful in contrast. *sigh*
Thank you for the hugs and the Birthday wishes - the warm weather contributes to the former but will hopefully make possible a nice garden party. :)

No wonder you're tired. At what age do children begin school there?
I'm often amazed at what the spell checker does and does not know!
no subject
Children usually start school when they're 4-5 years old. The younger one will start nursery in the autum, then 'proper' school at Easter time (next year obviously).
The spell checker is a funny thing - but it does catch most of my mistypes!

Glad she had a "perfect" birthday!
no subject
It's a 'new' thing and the school isn't actually all that happy about it. It used to be that all children started Reception (kindergarten - the year before Year 1) in the Autumn, but the system's now changed and there's intake three times a year, depending on Birthday: Autumn, New Year and Easter. So Impish Gilr will only have one term in Reception before she starts Year One. Thankfully I've got her into a Nursery in September, so she'll have some 'schooling' anyway. :)
Sorry, it's all very complicated.
