My parents arrive tomorrow for a two week stay; plane lands around 5. Which means I'm racing around tidying. I don't have to; they're not at all the fussy sort but eh, you know how it is ::grin::
I'm discovering that neglecting the house for weeks isn't fixable by an intensive attack spread over three days (I started yesterday) but it's helping ::is optimistic::
Took L to the bus stop with E today so she could see the school bus up close and personal. Eep. The thought of putting her on it tomorrow and watching her go ... I shall be leaping into my car and whizzing over to the school to be there at the other end, but it's still freaking me slightly. I drove E the first year so she was older when she went on the bus.
The tomatoes went well just simmered to pulp and sieved and I've frozen them but now I have three huge bowls full of more of the little red beggars. Plus raspberries that need freezing for the Christmas trifle or jamming. I feel like Laura Ingalls Wilder getting ready for winter.
I'll be less here than normal, though certainly not absent and I have an overflowing in box; sorry! I'll try and answer stuff as fast as normal but if I don't, you know why.
Rec time; lovely, gentle interlude fic by
malnpudl. Giles, Wes and Buffy (no smut) and it works very well indeed. The UST builds up so gradually but so strongly. It's called 'After 8.30'
