I had a lovely day yesterday. I decided to take the day off, so I spent the morning doing a few chores at home and then a few errands (including posting PIF packages to [profile] gabrielladusult  and [profile] nundu_art ). I got one of my favourite things for lunch - a salad from Whole Foods, and I treated myself to a completely ridiculous 'Regency' romance by someone called Julia Quinn. It was laughably inaccurate (decimal currency in the early nineteenth century? Um, no. Nor tennis parties either. Nor calling your aunt by her first name. Nor...) but quite sweet and lots of fun. In the evening we had our weekly neighbourhood dinner here and all my friends came. It was a really fun time. We had a fabulous chocolate cake and I blew out candles for the first time in a very long time.

All this and the goings on on Ros's Island. The absolute highlight for me was writing two utterly fluffy scenes for poor [profile] moonette1  and Will Wood.  Though I think Will quite enjoyed it.  ;)  I've almost forgiven [personal profile] stmargarets for making me and Charlie break up on my birthday, since she wrote us such a nice, fluffy making up scene.  Plus he has a new tattoo...

Thanks to everyone who sent good wishes and who came to play (especially [profile] rhetoretician, whose appearance was an unexpected and utterly hilarious surprise).  My email doesn't seem to be working at the moment so I may have missed some things.  I'm going into the library later and hopefully I'll be able to connect properly there.

Aaargh!

The AC adapter for my laptop has just broken.  It is utterly dead.  This leaves me with about 15-20 minutes worth of battery life.  It's still under warranty and they're sending me a new one but it could be Monday or Tuesday before it gets here.  I'll be able to use the computers in the library, but I won't be on LJ a whole lot.  Good thing we got St M fixed up with Jon Stewart in time!!

ETA: I've just succeeded in killing off my old laptop, so now I really am offline.  I have about 2 minutes left of battery life.  Hope the new adapter arrives tomorrow...
