* Knee is SO SORE! Walked too far on it, which has not damaged the actual ligament further, but which has made all the other muscles and joints I used to compensate for the damaged ligament say OUCH!

* Discussion with friend about Amber's twins: 'That's great, she'll be able to pick one up in each arm and have really symmetrical muscles.' I now worry about that friend's children being used as free weights ...

* I have a treacle_tartlet  in the house! We have many books! She has The Demon's Lexicon and an Arabel and Mortimer book by Joan Aiken, I bought the two D.M. Cornish books at her urging, and a Joan Aiken Jane Austen fanfiction novel: Mansfield Park Revisited. Am filled with joy that childhood hero was fanficcer, too. Harbour quiet hopes that someone on my flist is secretly Diana Wynne Jones. 

* We have new glass-fronted cabinets full of Edwardian porcelain (Royal Doulton Countess setting, don't ask, it's a long story, the point is that tea here is pleasant and civilised) but have not hoovered the living room floor nor the sofa, save where the cabinets were built and then erected. It's astonishing how much two little kitties can shed. Though I have to accept the longer hairs are actually mine.

* Treacle and I are watching We Are Wizards. We are a little bit frightened of most of the people, but find ourselves strangely charmed by the girls and the songs of Harry and the Potters. It is quite probable that this is because we walked up to the gelateria not long ago and are still in sugar high as a result of our purchases.

* Normal service will resume shortly. I might finish the cleaning first ...

I'm sorry about your knee. I hope it gets better really soon. Being in pain is not only painful but really annoying too.

Edwardian porcelain? Impressive and ladylike. :)

Say "hi" to treacle_tartlet for me. You do realize that you have a wonderful opportunity to create some lovely slash together? Australian Twitterporn or something like that. Why waste time on books when there's (H/D) porn waiting to be written! Feel free to get inspired by the pictures I posted on my journal on the 4th of August. *nods*

I think it's really good to use the twins as free weights. Too many new mothers suffer from back pains because they always hold the baby on their left arm. Not only will your friend stay healthy but she'll have great biceps that even Madonna will envy.

I've heard of power walking but gelateria walking sounds so much better. I totally approve.

Treacle sends love, though she has gone home to her fella and small girl, which I cannot begrudge even if I miss her.

Alas, we did not write new stories, but I am now editing her finished Careers Fair, and it will be one to look out for! I had to look at those pictures through one squinted eye, I am of such a refined disposition (as you can doubtless tell from my tea set! ;-)

You're right, you know, one on each hip will keep her nicely balanced. And as for the gelateria walking, we have three local ones, you can go to the far away one if you want fudge sauce ;-)

Thanks for the knee wishes, it's annoying but will be fixed within six weeks, maybe even three!

Three weeks sounds much better. Walking like a hunchback is fun only if you're Quasimodo.

I kind of posted my fist fic yesterday. Take your laptop, leave the elegant tea salon and go the room that has been dedicated to porn (your pick). Then have a look at some hot pictures and a silly story. The link is "Happy Birthday, Alisanne!". I'm advertising shamelessly because I'm so excited. I wanted to write some serious porn but that was the result. There's something wrong with my (serious) porn writing skills. *nods* ;)
