Phew. Back home from a thrilling couple of days in Wolverhampton with t'family, and slowly catching up on comments/feedback (i.e. leaving some. Very late. Mea culpa). Got to ferret through all the old family photos (am doing a compilation card for my dad's 50th), and I found a couple from when my aunt took sibs & myself on the Granada Studios tour years ago! Annoyingly, none of me (hand-to-forehead, ah me ;-)), but a couple of my sister and brother on The Very Baker Street, so you'll just have to take my word for it that I was also one of thousands who Have Trod The Hallowed Cobbles outside 221B.
Back to work tomorrow. I'm not even thinking about the chaos which awaits me there. :-P
To further this aim, herewith some snippets of a personally heartening nature, aka Good News...
- First attempt, and one of my icons was the mod's choice in![[info]](https://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
britcomicontest! W00t.
- I finally found a decent file-ripper for the DVDs, so I can pop NAVA, etc. up on YouTube this weekend, and also plan the next couple of Holmes slashvids <rubs hands together and cackles evilly, then strokes cat whilst smirking with intent> Yes, it cost me some money. :-P Yes, it's as slow as hell. But (and this is the major redeeming feature) it WORKS, damnit, and not only produces stuff at excellent resolution, but converts to .avi while it rips. With sound. Luddite self is officially in love.
- Friend's girlfriend's birthday tomorrow night, so we are embarking upon a gay pub-/bar-crawl round the town. Theme is uniforms. I am currently torn between the 1944 RAF jacket, the Irish Guards Zulu-esque redcoat with French canvas breeches and black cavalry boots (yep, it's an anachronistic mess, but it looks great), or the original 1952 Civil Defence Corps battledress jacket and trousers I found for a ridiculously cheap price in a charity shop before Christmas. And got the original armband and little badge off eBay, too. Hmm. Antique CDC for teh win, I feel (if only because I get to wear the Captain Jack Harkness-style braces underneath).
- We had snow a few days ago!...
...for about twenty minutes. :-P
- And I'm home and can see Mr. Wolfie again, yay! :-D
