Four very quick things

[blamebrampton]

1. If you are a slash fandom person, you WILL love this comic. If you are not, you may anyway. ETA: After reading further, much of my flist resembles this comic.

2. Due to unexpected events, I am making my living for November and December, and possibly January by freelance writing. Which is fine financially and fun intellectually, but means that I get to the end of the day and am utterly pants at writing anything else. Will be back in a fortnight after all my deadlines are met, or possibly earlier if I type faster!

3. MY BICYCLE IS THE BEST THING EVER!!! There will be a dedicated post to its glories as soon as I get organised to take and download photos. Sydney is SO much less lethal than it was the last time I was riding here. Though I have to factor in extra time as people keep asking me about the bike and panniers every time I take it out. I feel as though I should have flyers saying 'Interested in Dutch-style bikes? Ask me now!'

4. Have been reading Death Comes to Pemberley by PD James. It's quite up and down, but she gets one thing right that is managed by only about 13% of writers anywhere in the Anglosphere.
These are candelabra:


This is a candelabrum:

This is a candlestick:
If you can get that right, you will make pedants happy all over the world!

*looks up Erkineville....*

hah, wrong continent I fear, I live 20 miles south of DC, but I will keep that invite in mind.

I looked a bit at what might be available, but couldn't find any where that loaned or rented out reclining bikes. I try and think of what other ways i could find this sort of thing

I'll keep a lookout for anything in your area when I am cruising bike sites and mags, too. Yeah, it's a sad fact that some places, like San Francisco, Oxford and round my way, are really rich in cycling resources, whereas others have sod-all. But if you make it here while I am still here, we are ON for a lesson! Or I can just ride you around in a passenger bike :-)
