Random and Saiyuki fanart rec

Current reading is Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clark. It's good - very good indeed, and addictive.

There's some amazing Saiyuki fanart on this site. There's a drop down list on the left to navigate by, and my favourites start at 141 (yes, there's a lot of art here. A good deal of it is Gojyo/Sanzo, but there's other stuff too). 143 is a gorgeous inked and screentoned Hakkai/Sanzo image. I would link direct but it's in frames.

Sunday morning

Bleh. I'm awake. It's too early and it's Sunday morning. We're off to visit one set of parentals for a pre-Christmas meal and this means leaving the house at 9.30 to get there at lunch time. 

In other news, my measly 12G hard drive is completely full from dowloading vids and episodes and scans, something I never did until about 6 weeks ago. Huh.

Progress

The yuletide story is done and only needs the simple addition of a title. Past experience tells me this could take up a whole days worth of desperately racking my brains.

Parcels were sent last week. All the Christmas cards have now been written and posted, the majority of presents bought.  One set of parents have been successfully visited.

The house is a complete tip and I have no clean clothes. Bum.

Edited to add: OMFG - saw a big green and yellow parakeet living wild in M's parents garden! Remember, this is Surrey, England. Parakeet free zone until recently, at least ones that live wild. Apparently there's a flock of about 12 of them in that area. It was feeding from the nut bag. All the other birds were acting cool about it, but the squirrel seemed freaked out. The humans were gaping at the window, squeaking with excitement.
