Today we had a day out to see the seal colony at Horsey Gap - they are an overspill from the very successful colony at Blakeney Point. But where at Blakeney you have to take a boat trip to see the seals, at Horsey, they just hang out on the beach and are happy to allow humans within a couple of yards/metres without getting agitated. It's wonderful.
So here's a seal picspam!( Read more... )

In case any of you were entertaining the idea of going to see this film because it has quite a good cast – Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor, etc – don’t. Save your money and watch an old Pink Panther movie instead, it will be much more amusing, and Peter Sellers is a genuine comedy genius.

Seriously, this is now my contender for the most boring film of the year and anything else is going to have to try extremely hard to knock Mortdechai of this pedestal.

Spoilers ahoy….

So excited to be doing something different (even though I'm still drawing Jensen, kinda). So I was lucky enough to snaffle the multitalented

dollarformyname's most excellent story, Past Today, written for the little known

darkangel_bb. So now you know about it, you have to check it out, am I right? Story Master Post is HERE

The story summary goes like this: Terminal City was abandoned after an attack five years ago, survivors scattered to fend for themselves. Alec's been on his own for a while now, trying to forget what he lost, but then Ben shows up to make him remember in all the wrong ways. After an armed robbery and a city-wide manhunt that results in high-speed chases, gunshot wounds, more dead transgenics, and a hostage situation or two, Alec tracks Ben down to thank him properly.

On a happier note, Paddington Bear wishes all my US friends Happy Thanksgiving.

If you read nothing else today, read this.

fleshflutter wrote In the Mouth of Winter for me and it's wonderful. Even if you don't normally read Avengers/Thor/Loki fics, read this, you won't be disappointed. Summary: After Loki inadvertently makes Thor the vessel of his magic, Thor gets very ill, so Loki has to make sure he doesn’t die before Loki’s got his magic back.
It's 7K words of awesomeness. It's Gen-fic, but the kind where you can read into it what you wish.

My first, completely honest reaction?

Where's my SHOW?

I know Jensen said the Winchesters were just guest starring, but since this was billed as SPN I really wanted more Winchesters than I got. Oh, and what happened to SPN shapeshifter lore? Completely chucked out of the window, that's what. Gone was the messy, painful, tearing your skin off - instead we got insta-changing and smiling faces while they did it.

Okay, deep breath. This was not an episode of Supernatural, this was Bloodlines pilot. So that in mind, would I watch Bloodlines on the basis of that? Nope, I wouldn't. Starcrossed lovers, rich families battling for power, some poor pretty lad caught in the crossfire? It's just Dallas with werewolves and vamps. So that's that over with, now can we finally get on with the real thing please?

My poor hubby is getting old. Last night he wore these magnificent fleecy pyjamas in bed all night - this is the first time he was EVER worn PJs in all the 34 years I've known him. Even at Uni and on the dig in Italy he only wore a little pair of boxer shorts as sleepwear, and since then it's been nekkid all the way. I've promised him old man slippers for Christmas now. And of course endless teasing.

I'm a cruel woman to take pleasure in his chilly willy. Bwhahaha!

Oh and yes, those are Union Flags all over the trousers, and yes, you can see how much of a mess our front room is in.

Oh dear. I'm watching Battlestar Galactica (the recent one) because so many friends have recommended it and there's this scene of celebration, champagne rejoicing etc. Starbuck hands Apollo a thin, brown, finger-shaped thing and I'm thinking, aw, that's so kind. She's giving him her last Cadbury's chocolate finger biscuit.
Not the obvious thing - a cigar. Nope, my brain turns it into chocolate. Marvellous. I'm quite affronted when he bites the end of AND SPITS IT OUT!

Sometimes, the internet is just genius.

And this has made me remember what a fab character Worf was.

So obviously I'm way behind here in the UK, we've only just started on Season 3 on free-for-view - but flipping heck, what are they trying to do to me? All this angsty-breakup stuff is churning me up almost as bad as Supernatural! Poor Lewis...

I think this short film might hit a few of my buttons...

I'll be keeping an eye out for it airing, methinks.

For those of you unfamiliar with Peter Capaldi - I saw him most recently in the political satire, The Thick of It. here he is, using a Star Wars analogy with his colleague... I feel when he appears on our screens as the Dr he is possibly going to have to tone his language down a tad. I dunno...

I don't watch much TV but this is the exception...coming soon...Beware the spoilertache!

Hope John gets rid of that monstrostity toute bloody suite.

This, dahlings. Just this.

And I know Tom is only 18 but boy, he IS sexy...LOL!

We had a great day out at the Olympic Park on Monday watching women's handball (4 matches) so I'll bore y'all with some of me photies.

We arrived at the Olympic Park - and look - bright sunshine!

And behold, there were banks of wild flowers (main stadium in the background)

Team GB supporters

Queuing for the handball

Inside the Copper Box

GB v Russia (We lost 16-37 but this is just to prove we can score!)

And finally after three more exciting matches - the main stadium lit up for the night.

Next time, we get to see Volleyball at Earls Court. Roll on Sunday!

Current Mood: cheerful

I'm waiting for 8 o'clock and Tom Hiddleston's Henry V on the BBC - the two Henry IVs were pretty damn good, so I have high expectations for this one, and Tom has been a superb Prince Hal.
This anticipation is only marred by my continued problems with my left eye - slightly less blurry than it was this morning as my vision seems to improve a little as the day goes on, while the eye paradoxically gets sorer.

To scare the life out of every one, here's a lovely full colour close up of it's redness. If anyone wants to speculate on my eye colour, good luck to you bwhahahahhah!!
