turpsThe one day I get to lie in and I still wake up at 6, and then couldn't get back to sleep. Of course tomorrow I'll be making like a zombie when the alarm goes off, no waking up fully rested then. Oh no, it never happens that way.
I'm slowly but surely working my way through the BRBBs. Only at a rate of about one a day recently but I will get there eventually. Here's three I've read and really enjoyed.
Undertow byromanticalgirl. Gerard/Mikey. The art for it was one that attracted my attention when claims went up, and the story of why Mikey is wearing Gerard's killjoys jacket is just lovely.
Cigarettes, Coffee and the Ghost of You byglitteryv which is Frank/Mikey and a great read. Not spoiling any plot points, but I loved the knitted hat details.
Soggy, Chapped, & Faded Yet Clawing Towards Daylight bydancinbutterfly Pete/Mikey. In this Pete has cancer, and it's a story that's like a punch to the gut when you read. When I finished I was clutching a damp wad of toilet roll, because I'm just that classy. There's no main character death, but please read the warnings. I am reccing it, but totally understand anyone who wouldn't want to read because it is a hard story, and the kind that feels very real.
There are still so many stories that I have on my to-read list, so many that I need to get a move on or I'll still be reading when BBB starts posting.
So what else have I been up to since last time I posted? Not much to be honest.
For a while there was a possibility I could have had a last minute chance to go to Camp Sparkle, but for a variety of reasons it just didn't work out. But,sperrywink is coming to stay for the weekend after which is all kinds of awesome. When she leaves here I intend to have fully converted her to the h/c side >:)
Corey breaks up for Easter on Friday, and it feels like his school is constantly asking for money for stuff. A ticket to the prom, a hoodie with his graduating class names printed on it, a year book -- which I boggled at because really, when did schools over here start offering them? -- and the latest one, his year get to go in fancy dress for the last assembly of the term. Which is why we've spent this last week looking for stuff to make him a Jason from Friday the 13th costume. Old crone alert. I went to the same school as Corey, and when we left all that happened was you got your white shirt signed by your friends, tied your tie to some railing near the school, and then got pelted with flour and eggs on the way home. How things change.
I'm working my way through Suits at the moment, and it's a really great show. With a big bonus being I now know the people I've been reading about.
I've also been making my own bread. Well sort of. As some of you know I lurk a money savers forum, and on the printable coupon thread there was a pdf for 80p off bread mix. As the mix itself ranges from 75p to at most 85p for the sundried tomato kind, well, I've been printing off the coupons when needed and making bread almost daily. It's quick, easy, and best of all, saves us buying bread, so a win all around.
It's a beautiful day today so I think we'll try and fit in a quick drive to the beach later. For now though,the whites need to go on the line and then cheese and tomato on toast for breakfast and some brbb reading.
