*sigh* got an email from a policitians today. I hate his party, but like him,cause he's intelligent and doesn't go around insulting people.

I really wish there were more people like him in this particular party. That way when the incumbent lot continue to make a mess of it, I could actually vote in someone I respected.as it stands I prefer incompetent over the alternative. Which is not a good way to be.

:e2thud:

Doesn't it nick off into italy sometimes? For bits of it?

Yeah, it's even been to Britain a couple of times and Netherlands & Belgium regularly. This year it's starting in Corsica, the only region of France it's never visited.

In 1973 it went to Plymouth and the farmers in the caravan that precedes the race threw artichokes everywhere. Stories I've heard make it sound hilarious. Beware projectile artichokes!

A very pleasant morning/evening (for those of you who are across the pond) to you all!

I don't want to get out of bed. :(

I am procrastinating. Where is kricket with her motivational juice?

Me also. There's something going around.

Hypocrisy alert! Whited out
Mind you I wasn't helped by my mother ringing up about 30 mins ago. She spent almost the entire time moaning about how awful her life was. I honestly hate phone calls like that. Who wants to lose 30 mins of their day that way. And it's my mother. There's a lot more I want to put but that doesn't seem fair and I'm not sure I have the words.

This will do to sum it up :gaah

Ok, I need a more positive frame of mind cantina. Uplift, we need uplift. Oh and the motivation police. :mob

My summary of the Tour de France cycling route for next year.

Some of it looks like this: -------------

Some of it looks like this: ----^-----^^--

Some of it looks like this: --^^---/\---/\

And a lot of it looks like this: ^^-/\/\/\/\--^-/\/\/

Me? I'm going to look like this: :eek: or this :e2thud: Glad I don't have to do it.

'Gratz, NP. That's a big step. Good luck with subs.


I always love your pics, Fen.

Somebody said something about Wild Turkey?

And this is why we are friends.



Congrats on getting your edits in, Gina. Let us know in the socializing mediums when we can pre-order your stuff.

Yikes, I'd be glad I don't need to do that either. ATHLETES. How do they do it?

I sometimes wonder that, but then when you look at the dedication some of those people put in, you know, training in the rain at 5am in January. You can see how they do it. At least with writing I can stay indoors.

That's true. I appreciate the indoors as well, hah.

I'm starting my own personal "work Tour de France" today, which is attempting to finish an appeal for a client that has no actual appealable issues. Without asking for another extension. :cry:There are no issues but I have to try anyway, it's just a MESS.

How are you folks?

For me the question is less "how?" and more "why?" I break out in a rash -- and a cold sweat -- at the mere prospect of that intense a physical workout.

then again, I guess they look at our obsession and think the same thing. "Doing homework for a living," is how my kids described writing when they were young.


Morning, folks. Not a HUGE amount of writing going on this morning. More prep work: trying to firm up my world building, and put together enough scripts to fill out an entire season. I really want to do a B-5 thing and have a story arc, but I only have six eps per season, which doesn't leave a lot of room for sweeping story arcs.

The adrenalin rush of competition.

Inane questions by journalists? My favourite is when someone wins after cycling up a mountain as fast they could possibly go and the interviewer says 'how do you feel?'

I am always impressed that the person doesn't reply 'bleedin' knackered'.

I saw a kid-sized inflatable version of a hamster ball at War Practice. (An SCA camping event. No, a giant inflatable Hamster ball isn't period. I know.) Kids were rolling down a hill in it and seemed to be having a grand time.

I would try that. :)

I provide juice now? Okay, here's this :whip: and this :Coffee: Does that help?

Me also. There's something going around.

And something cute to make you :)
