Windy

Holy crap it's so windy - 90 mph winds in some parts of the country today, although they're about 30-40 here. The wind is roaring about the house. I'm concerned about our garden wall, which leans at about an 80 degree angle because of the yew tree growing next to it. Cycling across town the dentist was not fun and I was bright pink and mithered when I arrived. My nice new shoes got splattered with mud too. Humph. Cycling back down the Oxford Road, I was almost at a standstill against the wind. But Joel said my teeth were healthy and I don't need anymore work. A milestone for me - a ten minute, problem free check up.

For those of you that need to waste some quality time, spotted via grendelity: Nun Lander- land the nun safely or she goes to hell. I failed dismally every time and all my nuns crashed and burned. Sorry, nuns.

I've been reading Lucifugous by Elizabeth Bear - a very slashy zeppelin-and-detective-based novella (is that a genre? It should be), downloadable for free here. Lucifugous means... actually it's more fun if you look it up yourself.

It's a sign

Today's photo - a huge bit of billboard. Perhaps not appropriate for the weather that brought it to my door, but appropriate for my mood.

I also put my name down on juleskicks's 'Tell me what to create AnonyMeme', here.

So, um, you tell me what to write (and you can do it anonymously but you don't have to). There's a nice clause about it which says I don't have to necessarily write any of the ideas. Because it's not like I don't have enough ones already. But it's more for kicking ideas about, and having more can't be a bad thing, can it?
