Dreadfully sorry, mostly melted.

I am behind on birthdays and news, and shaking my head at Lance Armstrong and everything. Sorry!

But it was 45.8C here today (115F) and I have survived only by the internal application of iced lollies, iced juice and sorbet.

A cool change has rolled through, I feel I may be a Pratchett Troll as my brain seems to be returning with the colder weather.

We are not going to speak of the Australian cricket team, except to say that it makes me glad I still support England. [livejournal.com profile] wemyss, you may laugh if you must, it is entirely fair.

[livejournal.com profile] pingrid and I wish to know if there is an accepted short form of Richard Armitage, as we have been watching North and South and have had to go for RArm to save on typing. While it leaves out quite a bit of the book, it is much lovelier than the images that were in my head!

Surely the 'short form' of Richard Armitage is 'Thorin'?

I toyed with variants on 'Dick' but finally decided that 'RAge' is just about acceptable.

Bwahahahaha! I quite like RAge … You know, if I found out that he was Simon Armitage's cousin, I think my head would explode. Happily, it's an enormously common name, so I am probably safe.
