Happy New Year

[louiselux]

... she croaked. I managed to get the most annoyingly long lasting head cold about two weeks ago. That's just about cleared up but now I seem to have tonsillitis. *tiny fist of poorly rage*

I think it came from Mr Lux's mum last weekend - she was all sniffly too. I sincerely hope I didn't swap it with her for head cold of doom. Anyway, I'm so happy I stored away that giant box of Zapain last year because swallowing is extremely painful. Lying on the sofa drugged yay.

I watched the first series of Breaking Bad yesterday - a very dark comedy drama about a rather put-upon middle aged chemistry teach who, for various reasons, 'breaks bad', ie takes up a life of crime. Bryan Cranston is fantastic in it. I'll definitely watch the rest if I can.

A few fic recs:

Sherlock: My heart pumps yet the poison by colouredink. Not exactly slash, not exactly gen, nonsexual kink. Sherlock tries to get Irene Adler out of his system.

Meet me inside by Wakeneve. Slash, explicit m/m, UST. Sherlock and John meet in prison. It keeps the dynamics of their canon relationship really well, and adds something to them by giving them a different setting.

Star Trek (2009): The Lotus Eaters by Aldora89. Slash, m/m. Excellent and very long adventure/hurt/comfort epic where Jim and Spock are stranded together on a hostile planet. Also they make friends with one of the most endearing original alien lifeforms I've read.

Ps - For anyone who's interested, Adobe have got a free beta download of Lightroom 4.

Heyyyyyyy, that is amazing news! We should so meet up - I would love to if we can possibly find a way. I don't have any plans for June as yet, so if you get time in your hectic whirlwind that would be so lovely. Are you doing a full UK in-laws tour?

Six years is a long time - it must be hard for you both actually.

Yay, Happy New Year! The Year of the Dragon - Hakuryuu will be impossible!

Yes, we fly in to Man. Airport, because Ste's folks live up that way. We'll probably stop a couple of days first and then make our way down south. My Aunt lives in Kent and her daughter lives in Brighton. Even if we don't manage to see each other often, we've managed to keep close knit. So we'll stop a four or so days. I would like to take the children to some of the museums in London and would actually love to visit Oxford again. (serves me right for re-watching episodes of Morse and Lewis. *is embarrassed* Especially Lewis. ^__^)

Then we'll make our way back up North again. Probably stopping in Huddersfield with old Uni friends and then back to Manchester. Stephen's sister lives in Morecambe Bay, so we'll probably do a day trip there too from his parents place. Looking at it now, it doesn't seem long enough at all. @_@

*crosses fingers* - yes I hope hope hope we get to meet somehow.
