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!

I swear, I am cleverer in the UK than in Australia! I need a brain fan! And yes, he's the very best!

It happens to all of us. I think the heat really does just suck it out of us. ♥

Sam Vimes is one of my favourite characters. What about you?

My friends strongly suggest that Mr Brammers IS Sam Vimes. There may be some truth to this … I would be thrilled to be Lady Sibyl, she's splendid! Alas, I fear I may be a little more part Granny, part Tiffany, part Susan (my bogeymonster-quashing skills are legendary among my young friends, niece and nephews. Speak clearly and carry a cricket bat. Weirdly, I was doing this well before she was written, which leads me to believe there is a certain type of young woman, which I am happy to be one of!)

LOL! I love the witches, too, but for some reason Sam Vimes sticks out and I adore him. I like the trolls, too. Some of them are hilarious. Carrot is one of my favouries, too. The six foot drawf. LOL

I haven't read any of the Tiffany books yet. But I've read most of the books in order. I did the Witches and the Night watch... Lady Sybil does rock. I love how she breeds dragons. :D

I've got quite a few on my kindle left to read and a few paperbacks. So many books to read. Hehe.
