Doing stuff and writing fic

It's been a fairly quiet few days. My mothers's family visited on Saturday and it was great to see them. I spent Sunday doing quiet family stuff as my sister was staying with us.

Yesterday I wandered into town to do a bit of shopping - picking up some stuff to cope better with the heat wave we've been having. I resorted to t-shirt and PJ trousers on Sunday after overheating on a short hike with Dad and my winter PJs are definitely too much at night. So I now have shorts and some lighter sleep attire.

I packed for everything except a big heat wave. Argh.

In the evening I made the terrible sacrifice of going to The Avengers again with my dad so he could see it without being lonely. Aren't I a good daughter?

Black Widow gets more awesome each time I see her. I really want to see an origin movie with her and Hawkeye now. Or just any movie with her being awesome and Hawkeye doing improbable archery. Pretty please, Marvel?

I am absolutely not in any way considering signing up for marvel_bang. Nu uh. No way.

I've got that Doctor Who fic to finish, right? Even though the deadlines for the Big Bang are far enough away that I could probably do both and...

Good thing my writing mojo is returning?

Today I'm off to Manchester to visit historyterry. If this train ever moves. Shall post this when I get back as the cost of wifi on the train is insane.

ETA: 500 words of Avengery fic committed on the train home. Suspect I may be having a problem...

Many things

I have finally finished the third Song of Ice and Fire book *does the dance of joy*

So very happy about that. Now I'm reading the first of Mira Grant's Newsflesh trilogy and enjoying it more than I expected. Not being a zombie reader normally, it's different and I'm more entertained than I thought I would be. It helps that it's so different from GRRM.

Today we went to London for Matilda and it was brilliant. I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone who loves musicals and it's easy to see how it did so well at the Oliviers.

Finally, any impression anyone thinking that they might have seen me signing up for the Marvel Big Bang has is probably wrong.

Except where they're not. Drafts due in September. Anyone fancy beta-ing for me? Probably Avengers...
