I had a fab day today. I don't really post much, and when I do it's generally depression-filled, so I imagine my shock - nay, astonishment! - when I had three good days in a row. Impossible, I swear.

The weekend was blissfully quiet. athena25 was away for LARPing shenanigans, so I took the opportunity to be domestic. And by 'domestic', I don't mean that I sat at home, which seems to have been the pattern of my winter. I was at home for some of it, but I was primarily cooking.

( My food joy, let me tell you it. )

So after I finished eating the local Sainsbury's out of their fresh produce section, I decided to do some housework-type things. Not the 'I am depressed, see me polish' type of work, but opening up all the windows, doing fresh loads of washing, doing a little weeding, even - gasp! - leaving the back door open to air out the place.

I even found the time and energy to go to the gym for a truly punishing two hour session that left me unable to walk this morning. It was fabulous. A month's worth of lazing about, made up for in one morning's worth of pain and exertion. It was wonderful, I tell you.

I also had a mini clear-out, shifting loads of books and DVDs that were cluttering up the place.

Today I woke up and had a comedy morning, where I was convinced it was a Sunday because it was sunny. D'oh! Once I finally figured out that I should shift my arse out of bed, I got up... and nearly fell flat on my face, due to the afore-mentioned overly enthusiastic exertions yesterday. Got to work, things Not On Fire (tm) - knock on wood - and I am out tonight with my gay boyfriend.

So, anyway. Now that I am feeling vaguely human (due almost entirely to the fact that it has been sunny for a few days in a row, which basically means that whole bout of lethargy was due to a vitamin D deficiency), I am all-aglow about spring. I am even considering writing again. Imagine it! Me, back with a pen in my hand! Don't all fall down with shock.

Safe to say at this point: I'm officially off hiatus.

So what did I miss?

I also can't wait for it to be proper autumn/winter, and for Starbucks to start their gingerbread lattes again. I know that it's terribly pants of me to support them as I should be supporting independent coffee shops instead, but I support independent coffee shops 7 days a week. Starbucks is entitled to a seasonal visit from me, clutching a peppermint candycane and sipping gingerbread in a MUG. It's like Christmas in a warm, jazzy, blues-y, massively commercialised environment. Just like Christmas, in other words!

Also, because everyone is doing it and because it looks like massive amount of fun, I give you: the character love meme!

It goes something like this: Name a character, and I will tell you in at least 100 words why I love that character.

I have all the fandoms in the world, so knock yourselves out. The usual suspects include: the Jossverses, West Wing, Harry Potter, Scrubs, Red Dwarf, House M.D., Alias, Babylon 5, Star Trek (all incarnations), Doctor Who (Nine and Ten), Lost, Nip/Tuck... the list goes on. If you're on my flist, chances are we'll share about 80% fandom interests. I'm a fandom floozy that way. :)
