Sorry, can't think of anything to write here...
Hello everyone... ::waves tiredly::
So how have you all been? I've skimmed my flist, but I'm not really feeling up to commenting on anything - I think I suffer from comment-burn-out! (Is that a word?) Monday was my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
summer_of_spike day, and I was thanking my lucky stars that it was the holidays. 8 posts in one day? Hereby not recommended! Especially when your internet connection dies at 9pm with two chapters still to post... thank goodness it came back!
What made it easier though was my much loved s-i-l! She called up Monday afternoon and asked if the girls would like to come and sleep over! Which *of course* they did! ::loves family-in-law:: So Darcy and I had a very nice and quiet evening. He's still not feeling brilliant (although he went to the doctor and found out that he had an infection and got some antibiotics, so he's on the mend now), so there was no candle-lit dinner or anything like that - just vegging out in front of the telly. And - because of no children and peace and quiet - he said: "Let's watch Buffy!" So we did! :) It's been a long time since we've seen Season 5, so we watched the first 3 episodes of that - which reminded me that I have somewhere some thoughts on 'Buffy vs. Dracula' that I never finished writing... *sigh* Anyway, Darcy refers to Riley as 'that boring guy' which thrills me no end! ;)
Went to bed rather late - what with delayed posting and telly-watching (also caught 'Blackadder II' - yay!) - but there were NO children shouting in the night! And NO children needing looking after in the morning! I can't actually remember *ever* having a quieter morning. Made myself some breakfast and then sat down to answer comments... of which there were huge, enormous, incredible amounts!!!! If feedback is the food of fic writers, then I am currently stuffed - crammed full to overflowing! :) I was especially surprised at all the comments to the individual chapters. I didn't expect that. But it was oh so lovely! ::happy sigh:: And I was so worried that people wouldn't want to read a long fic! Many, many, many thank you's to everyone yet again - you made me practically incoherent with delight! ::hugs you all::
But that wasn't all - at around lunchtime Darcy gave me a lift to the train station where I was meeting my old friend C. Now C and I used to be neighbours when we were children, which was a very fortunate co-incidence in that we were both Danish, growing up in the Faroes. And although we moved around a great deal (even when younger) we always kept contact (also our parents were good friends, which helped). She's currently studying medicine in Copenhagen, so it's been a while since I last saw her, but - by another extraordinary co-incidence - she now has a boyfriend from West Yorkshire, which is where I live! So she's been here meeting his family and thought it'd be nice seeing me too! :) Had a lovely afternoon chatting (she's also the only one of my RL friends who's familiar with Buffy and last time we met - a year ago - we shared a 'Isn't Spike cool?' moment!) and I really hoping she'll come back soon. It's nice seeing RL friends who live far away.
So I've not had much time for LJ I'm afraid... feeling very sleepy at the moment, but will do my best to write a bit... although I'll have to think of something to do with the children too! Hmmm, maybe I should just get some lunch first? Should probably also mention that on Monday I managed to tidy pretty much the whole house... the office is still a tip, but apart from that? Tidy! Which makes me very happy indeed! :)
Sorry this was probably incredibly boring. Hope you're all OK!
