Weekendy goodness

[selenay]

paranoidangel42 came down to stay for the weekend, which was much fun. There was chattering, fic dicussion and other fannish things - almost like being at a convention without actually having...y'know...a convention. My parents are sweethearts and Mom managed to feed us. I have been challenged to cook the next time PA stays to prove that I can actually manage to produce edible food. I'm thinking that the next time the parents go away would be a good opportunity - I'd be forced to provide the cooking skills that way.

Much fun, however. And we even got some sleep.

I've been doing some fiddling around with my business website, upgrading the package so that I can install WordPress as the blog provider. Then I can start actually updating that blog again. I'm also going to be redesigning the site properly because the footers currently break in IE. But that's a project for later.

I have finally got around to replacing the boots that I wear to work, after the old pair began dying nearly a year ago. The new ones are black, just above mid-calf and actually fit over my ridiculously chunky calf muscles. They're also low-heeled, a necessity, and look pretty darned smart. Hopefully they'll also be comfortable - they felt pretty good in the shop.

OK, yeah, they were on sale. In fact, the shop had all their boots on sale which indicates they're getting rid of their boot stock before summer. So I can justify this purchase because, if I hadn't bought them, I wouldn't have been able to buy boots again until September. And walking around in boots with holes isn't very comfortable *nods*

And now I must be a good student and do some French work before I settle down with the Bafta ceremony.
