Homeward Bound

[hils]

I'm on the train home! WHEE!

Guess which numpty put their clock forward a day early? *points at self* So I was up at 7am on Saturday because according to my alarm it was 8am. D'oh! Ah well, it meant I was prepared for when they actually did go forward last night and it gave me some time for writing before we went out *facepalm*

Had a lovely weekend with yavannauk! We watched Highlander Methos, SGA (I fear I will be buying season 1 next month), Robin Hood (which amazingly didn't suck) and Bradley's episode of Lewis (GUH!)

I started my Lex/Castiel fic and have had a bunny for a Merlin modern AU which won't leave me alone. I'm going to turn into one of those people with loads of WIPs. So much for my plan of one fic at a time.

Bit of a nightmare getting home as there were no trains running from Greenhithe today (which I was NOT told when I booked my tickets). Luckily yavannauk was able to very kindly drive me to a station that was open.

I'm going to provide you with a link to my Sweet Charity aution when I can figure out how to do that. A couple of lovely people have bid on me already but more is good, especially when all the money goes to charity.

In the meantime here are some photos of Greenhithe, which is quite lovely



I was very impressed by this bridge when I was coming in on the train




Apparently this building has been turned into flats. I want to live there!


Nice little green area which is where the abbey used to be

Another nice building that has been turned into houses




There's a town called Welling. This amused me more than it should

OMG you are actually like miles from where I live! XD

Have you been to Bluewater? :)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes, we went to Bluewater every morning for breakfast at Costa and we had a lovely Chinese meal there on Friday night

[x-merlin.livejournal.com]

I go there all the time! I actually don't know how I lived before it was built!

Seriously, I cannot believe how close you are to me! Hee! XD

Why did you choose to visit round here anyway? :)

[hils.livejournal.com]

I was staying with yavannauk who lives there

[hils.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm heading home now but it was very nice yes.

[x-merlin.livejournal.com]

I see! Hope you enjoyed it! :)

[zooz.livejournal.com]

Nice pictures...and yes you will buy SGA...oh yes you will...

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe!!! Yes, I will. I love the snark already just based on the two part pilot I watched

[yavannauk.livejournal.com]

Hm, part of Ingress Abbey seems to have mysteriously turned into a dog!! LOL!

Glad you had a good time and that we were able to get you to a station OK.

Heh! That's better. And, y'know, given that I share my birthday with the man himself I kind of never thought about Welling like that!

LOL!! Who knew Fergus had magical powers *g* Uh, fixed!

I did have a lovely time. We should do it again some time. Maybe when things are less insanely hectic for both of us. LOL!

[yavannauk.livejournal.com]

Hee! Maybe Fergus is really Merlin trying out canine form. *g*

Yay! That would be an excellent idea. Heh, still plenty more Methos episodes to watch as well as the rest of the decent seasons of SGA.

[hils.livejournal.com]

That sounds like an excellent plan!

[hils.livejournal.com]

We should squeeze in some Merlin commentary and video diary time too *g*

[yavannauk.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me! And I still have Something For The Weekend on my Sky+ box.

[hils.livejournal.com]

YAY for Bradley and his manly whisking *g*

[yavannauk.livejournal.com]

That sounds positively dirty (though probably not as dirty as him rolling his balls in whatever it was *snerk*).

[hils.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!! *adds a food porn prompt to kinkme_merlin*

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee! I didn't know you shared Tom's birthday!

[yavannauk.livejournal.com]

Sadly not the same year *snort* but yes, the same day.

Oh my god I want to live in that place!

I would feel like a queen, and when my friends came over I would run after them shouting 'OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!' because clearly that is what queens do.

LOL!!!!
