Morning Folks!

This was the conversation E&I had on the way to the pub last night:

ME: You know, our blogging has really fallen by the way-side.

SHE: Well you're the one who's not working right now. It's your responsibility.

ME: Oh.

So here's me blogging for a little bit about random things over the last few days. Feel free for your eyes to glaze over right... about... Now!

So yeah, I've been on annual leave for a few days, just sort of relaxing & unwinding, getting caught up on a few things (But not really). The main purpose for this block of time that I took off (Aside from not wanting to get burned out at work [which was well on its way to happening.]) was to get a final draft of my MA play done so that I could start submitting it in the new year. I've done a third of it and am just writing up additional scenes, fleshing out characters, and generally improving it. This is, of course, an incredible thing considering that, in my official feedback, I was told 'There is no way that you can improve it.'

Otherwise, it's just grey & dreary. The predicted snow never came and it doesn't seem like Christmas without it.

I've noticed an increase in people wearing Tibetan touques like the one I bought in Toronto this fall (Dare I say that I started the trend?), so I don't look quite so strange but, much to our amusement, we were heckled the other night. Elisabeth was especially impressed by the fact that they were in a car, it was dark and, in the split second between when they saw us and passed us, someone had the wherewithall to shout out "Nice hat!"

Another interesting thing about UKers wearing the Tibetan Touque is that, even though it's like 5 degrees, no warmer - almost 10 degrees outside, women still tie the touque up under their chins.

Very, very strange.

League of Gentlemen is on Saturday and I cannot impress on y'all how excited we are. We're getting a hotel room to stay in London and are bringing the camera. Elisabeth wants to see if she can meet sexy Reese, I want to see if I can meet sexy Mark and so we'll probably end up seeing sexy Steve which will still be a victory.
