blamebrampton: 15th century woodcut of a hound (Default)

Public notice

Lost: Brammer's talent
Last seen: Around HP10K time, though, if we're honest, it's all been downhill since 'Who? Voldemort?' 'No, Peter Mandelson.'
Description: Erratic, flighty, prone to obscure references, but likes a good laugh and a pratfall as much as anyone. Prone to running off with strangers and then being all coy about it afterwards. Overly alliterative. Occasionally found in pubs saying things like 'This Scotch is really very good!' Cannot resist conversation on story structure, unable to maintain serious facade for any length of time.
If found: Please do not feed alcohol or chocolate. Please keep quiet in dark box with ready access to water. Owner will be by to pick up ASAP. Sizable reward offered.

:(
I have been beset by so many ideas that I cna't focus on one long enough to write it, and keep throwing my book down in disgust and making endless cups of tea...
Oh, speaking of which, I think there's half a packet of Ginger Nut biscuits in the cupboard with my name on them ;)

Your icon is one of the Best Things Ever. Just wanted to say.

Yes! Your talent definitely wants you to finish Fathers! It's put all this effort in, and you keep patting it on the head and telling it to focus on other stuff. It has now dug it's heels in until you acknowledge it properly.

Don't look at me like that, it makes perfect narrative and psychological sense!

And cuter, although that probably goes without saying...

She's just moving into size 12, poor little blossom has inherited my feet.
Further to the vgetable discussion, she has taken a violent dislike to potato (only four year old on the planet, surely, who refuses to eat mashed potato and demands an extra helping of purple cabbage instead!)

To my mind they have one advantage over many of their kin--their small size. Since I'm cooking for one, and despise throwing food away, I want veg I can purchase in small enough quantities that I will eat it before it goes off. I often buy a variety of small vegetables, including one to three brussles sprouts, and cook them all together. Much more sensible than buying, say, a cabbage, when I only want a hint of that sort of plant in the mix.

OMG icon love. *giggles madly*

What's a 12 compared to a size 24/25? And I will eat her potatoes for her!

This is true! Though he does a better line in put-upon dignity than I do ;-)

I was going to say, blame Peter Mandelson, everyone else does, but some how during the party conference he's become rehabilitated! So, maybe Gordon Brown is now the culprit. :-)

I think he has photos of all of them naked. It's the only plausible explanation ;-)

Erm, she has a size 28 pair of boots that are almost too small, does that help?
She still sometimes plays the 'potato' game, as inspired by your handcream last year, btw :)

I'm trying not to think too closely about that. :-)

YAY POTATO! Bugger, I have a really cute pair of 24 pink felt boots. Off to another little girl, in that case!

Sorry! Mental towels! Mental sheets!
