The state of things

Is it sad that I could quite happily live in my office for the next few days rather than walk home in the snow. I have access to the internet, food (albeit expensive), toilets and a shower. I'm sure I could fashion a bed out of coats and things. Yeah, I have thought about this way too much.

My feet are still cold from walking in this morning. Extra pair of socks tomorrow I think. So glad I didn't do this yesterday as well. Boss didn't seem at all bothered that I hadn't come in.

In fic news my mpreg is all typed up and with [livejournal.com profile] ladydreamer who is kindly going to give it a once over before I send it to my beta

Now it's Twilight Zone fic time!

I'm considering postponing my trip to Glastonbury until I have a car. I'd really like to see some of the surrounding area which isn't going to happen without my own transport :(

I really wish I could walk about more because I so love Glastonbury and do have a car.

The place itself is quite compact so walking to the Tor and other things very easy. My days of walking up the Tor are ocer though :(

Aww! I'm sorry :(

Do you think I'd be able to get everywhere I need to on foot then?

[identity profile] caersidi.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

I used to go there on train and then bus from Bath (via Wells).

All the 'main attractions' are in a very concentrated space and it is only if you wanted to visit other bits of Somerset you'd need a car or the caves at Cheddar.

The Tor, Chalice Well, the Abbey and even the Somerset Museum are all very much in and about the town centre. Plus there is all the marvelous shops. :)

Excellent! In that case I declare the trip back on!

Suspect I will need a car when I go to Tintagel though. That's next on my list after Glastonbury as [livejournal.com profile] bogwitch recommended I see it

OMG I love Tintagel *sigh*
And I have a car :D

*slinks up to you*

*smiles lovingly*

Fancy a road trip some time? *g*

We can go and shake our heads disdainfully at the museumy thing where they try to brainwash people into thinking that Arthur truly loved Gwen and refuse to recognise Arthur and Merlin's Epic Gay Love of Destiny.
*gasp*
And there are some nice pubs too :D

[identity profile] hils.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
WHEE!

We must do this! Soon!

[identity profile] lou-angel.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
If by 'soon' you mean 'when you have money' that OF COURSE!!

Do you know where else is nice? Bath. Bath is pretty. Also, you can skip merrily up and down Gay Street in Bath.
*misses Bath*

[identity profile] hils.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! I've never been there either :(

[identity profile] hils.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. I haven't been anywhere :(

I hope to correct that this year

[identity profile] lou-angel.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't been anywhere either.
Well, except Bath. And Tintagel.
And a couple of other places.

[identity profile] hils.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! Well, they're both places I've never been

[identity profile] lou-angel.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
But you will one day :D

[identity profile] hils.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Ya. Some time this year I hope

[identity profile] ionaonie.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I already have an extra pair of socks. And thermals. And I'm still freezing.

I swear I'm colder at work than I was waiting for my car to be taken away.

[identity profile] hils.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Boo! Stay home tomorrow ;)

[identity profile] ionaonie.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, with no car and probably ice on pavements, it's a distinct posibility.

[identity profile] dj-intheuk.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
if your going to Glastonbury take a trip also to nearby Wells, Somerset aka as Sandford, Gloucestershire in Hot Fuzz - practically the entire village is a filming location :) Such fun, and pretty too.

[identity profile] hils.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, somoeone else on my flist said Wells was pretty. Just depends if I can get there by train and how much time I have. Was only planning on being in Glastonbury for the weekend
