bluecastleJust got an email from my friend-who-lives-in-Denmark-with-his-Danish-wife and he finally confirmed that they are NOT staying with me when they are in my town next week. They had been a little vague on this, and when they were here around five years ago, they did stay with me. But that was not in July in the middle of a heat wave. Being sensitive to the heat (and further softened by living in temperate Denmark) I hope they have air conditioning at my friend's elementary school music teacher's house where they ARE staying. So I will not see them as much as I would if they were camped in my spare room... but also this means I do not have to give up sleep for a week in order to clean my house from stem to stern.
I find it ironic that he doesn't want to see a show at the summer theater place as it will be "too hot" but he does want to wander the streets for the local arts festival on while they're here and it's always SCORCHINGLY HOT. But admittedly there are stores to nip into for a break from the heat...
But YAY seeing friends I haven't seen in years!!
Am debating taking myself to the preview performance of the next show after ours at the summer theater tonight. It's their dress rehearsal, and so not everything will be in place, but it's FREE, and that works better into my budget, so I think I will probably go. Support mah pals, do my bit, plus it's not SUPER hot here today so might be a comfy night to be out there.
Elsewise, just catching up with series 1 and 2 of Primeval -- and making a note to look for Primeval/Torchwood xover fics. You just know there have to be some :) You can't tell me Ianto (or Suzie or Tosh or Jack) didn't hack their records to figure out how to deal with Myfanwy...
And working on my first hurt/comfort bingo fic. 'Sexual extortion, high school' Merlin AU with Morgana and Merlin mostly. Tricky bits still to work out, but I have the basis of something I'm liking. Might be ready to go up in a week or so, hopefully.
Adored the Doctor Who finale as long as I didn't think too much about the specific logic of it. That makes my brain hurt. My Irish friend said she liked it better the second time through. The first time she thought it was too confusing for her girls, and not engaging enough. Certainly there was a lot to wrap up in an hour!
But now I've had my afternoon coffee and chat, so back to work...
