Interesting times in bandom lately, with my focus being, of course, Mikey's new band.

I have to admit, I've enjoyed seeing all the speculation about it, some serious, but a lot of joking. My favourites of such remaining the posts saying he was going to join One Direction, and FOB. Though I suspect that second wasn't actually a joke, especially as the post on tumblr seemed to disappear very soon after. All I can think is, sanity set in after a crazy moment for the poster. Though, I do get the appeal of thinking about Mikey tagging along with the band - and having hot sex and being cared for by Pete and Meagan, for which I blame [personal profile] annemari completely.

But yeah, it seems he may be off to work with David from New London Fire. No official announcement as yet, but that's what those tweets seem to suggest. I'm thrilled for him, and hope this puts the focus back on music. I was looking at tumblr after the news of his new band first hit, and someone suggested he was having mid-life crisis because he was joining a new band, and just, seriously? He's always loved music, him joining a new band makes perfect sense.

And then his Aquabats episode at the end of the month \o/

I enjoyed Gerard's interview where he talked about his music and directing, too. And of course, FOB continue to delight me with their everything.

I'm busy editing my BBB at the moment. For very good reasons themoononastick couldn't beta this time, so I had to ask for a new beta, which was scary as Moon has been my main beta for many, many years. But fannish people are amazing and within minutes of asking I had an offer. With that and someone else checking this weekend this story will be as good as it possibly can be. &fandompeople;

Also, as I know some people didn't know. Double claims are up for mixes, so if you missed out on a story you wanted to mix. Go get it!

James comes home tomorrow, so it's my last lazy day with Corey. Sadly a lot of it has been grey and wet, but we've got along just fine. Sleep ins and pottering around and able to get into the garden once. But, it's actually sunny today so I'll go out and re-pot the rest of my tomatoes later. Dad came to visit earlier in the week and brought me a packet of snowball turnip seeds. When I was a kid he had an allotment, and he used to grow them there. When me and my brother went with him he'd pull up these small snowball turnips, chop off the roots and we'd peel them using our teeth and eat them raw from the ground. They were delicious, and I've often wanted to try them again. So, he unexpectedly brought seeds, and gave clear instructions how to grow them. I just hope they do grow, he's taken to inspecting the garden when he comes to visit, and I'm sure half the time he's thinking, amateurs! For example, he told me to be brutal and not grow every seedling that comes through or you end with an overcrowded greenhouse. Which, I know he's right, but I feel bad throwing seedlings to one side. So yeah, he's my gardening guru. Unable to do the physical work but always there with advice.

I'm actually tempted to go re-pot now, but I always end up covered in compost when I do and I have washing to go on the line soon. So, a job for the afternoon really.
