Birthdays and bah

Happy Birthday to entrenous88 and fatimaner! I hope the day started well and just keep getting better and better :;smooches and hugs::

We have a winter storm that's dropped six inches of weird, wet, crunchy snow that's damn near impossible to shovel as it makes a snowball when you do, curling up on itself and sulking.

Trembly arms from shovelling.

For the booklovers

Just discussing D E Stevenson with keswindhover and I mentioned that I have them all apart from 'The Empty World' and it occurred to me; why have I never searched for it? So I did, and found that there are some jaw-droppingly expensive first editions out there but a reprint is available :;bounces:;

I've ordered it and paid extra so it will arrive when mum is here so that she can read it too.

It's SF of all things; written in the 1930s and set in the 1970s.

The site I got it from has catalogues of all my favourite authors; Heyer, Thirkell, Montgomery, Delafield...

Go and drool....

'Ease My Pain' Giles/Spike

This is a Giles/Spike fic, about 2,700 words, set immediately after 'Something Blue'. It flipped from funny to dark on me for some reason.
