Corey went off to Bloodstock today, a heavy rock festival down south. It's his first festival, first time away with just his friends in fact, so I had a little pang watching him go this morning with his stuffed rucksack complete with a bottle of tequila and pot noodles. But, I trust him completely and know he'll have a good time.

Bake Off started last night \o/ I'm not sure if it's early or not but it always feels like an autumn show to me.

I got a postcard from dine. Thank you so much!

My niece has changed her instagram name that includes references to both 1D and 5 Seconds of Summer. She's also posted 1D fanart she's found and I suspect could easily topple into fandom.

I've been reading BBBs and out of the three I've read so far I've enjoyed every one.

I've already mentioned ladyfoxxx's excellent story, but I've also read Charmed Heart by akamine_chan and it was so good. Seriously good. Mikey/Frank, Lindsey/Gerard, magic, amazing world building and an ending that had me on the edge of my seat. I loved it so much.

The other story I've read is On Dust Storms of Rebellion which is killjoys Mikey/Brian background Gerard/Frank. In a comment reply to me the writer said they were worried people would avoid the story because Mikey/Brian is a rare pairing, and it would be a big shame if they do, because this story is good. Interesting world building and I really liked Brian being involved. I'm just glad there's going to be another part due to it ending on a bit of a cliff-hanger.

I have others I'm looking forward to reading, too.

Raiding my instagram. James had to go to a different clinic in Newcastle a few days ago, so on the way home we stopped off at St Mary's Island. It was so busy there, so many people picking winkles and rock pooling. James is actually in that photo, the white blob at the end of the causeway.

And my nod to throwback Thursday. A photo of Corey back when he was a toddler and his whole world was hoovers, cars and Thomas the Tank Engine and not heavy metal music and computers.

I hope Corey enjoys his first festival.

I prolly need to actually go read more of the bbbs(I've read two so far)

St. Mary's Island looks pretty even with a crowd.


Hope your week is going well :)

[turps]

I'm sure he will. We got a text saying he was on the coach -- he's paid for a package that includes travel to the venue too -- but nothing after that yet. I'm assuming he's putting up tents and having fun with his friends tonight.

I'm looking forward to reading more. It's been a busy start of the week but I'll be hitting the masterlist again tomorrow.

St Mary's Island is lovely. Very small, but surrounded by so many interesting rock pools when the tide is out. Not that I was exploring them, I was happy watching.

I am having a good week, hope you are, too.

I hope he'll enjoy himself enormously! (And that he won't get too severe hangovers from that tequila :-)

So being fannish is a family trait, that's really cool!

I opened that Killjoys story in a tab yesterday but so far haven't been in the mood to start reading. Tomorrow maybe...

What pretty place! And what lovely weather!

*giggles* Corey's expression in that pic is hilarious. Also, it's amazing how much he's grown in such a short time!

[turps]

I'm sure he'll have an amazing time. We got a text to say he was there and I suspect we'll get the next one on Monday when he's on his way home. That tequila is strong stuff, I had a sip and that was enough fo rme.

Yep, looks like it. She hasn't found fic yet, but if she's found fanart it can't be that far off.

The killjoys story is really good. The addition of Brian is an element I really enjoyed and I'm looking forward to the next part. It's just a shame you're not into the pairings for Aka's story because I think you'd have really enjoyed it otherwise.

St Mary's Island is lovely. Very small and crowded the day we were there.

He's grown so much. And yeah, his expression cracks me up in that picture. Like he's just had enough already *g*

[turlough]

Yeah, the inclusion of Brian's one of the biggest draw of that story. And it's really too bad about the pairings in Aka's story. If it had been a short story I might have read it anyway but not a long story.

I hope Corey has a great time at the festival (and doesn't get into *too* much trouble!) - it's hard to believe he's old enough for that sort of fun, isn't it?

[turps]

We've just had a text to say he's arrived and I'm not expecting another until Monday now. I suspect it's for the best I don't know everything they get up to *g*

[eledhwenlin]

They grow up so fast!

[turps]

They really do.

[frausorge]

Aw, I hope Corey has a good time, and that you aren't plagued by too much worry!

[turps]

We've had two very brief text messages, as in a few words each. Apparently he's having a good time. So that's great.

[croissantkatie]

I hope Corey has a good time!

So happy that Bake Off is back. Fairly sure it is earlier, based on how many episodes I normally see before I go back to uni compared to this year.

[turps]

Apparently he is, so that's good.

Yeah, I thought it seemed early. Not that I'm complaining as such. Now I just hope the new extra show is good tonight.

[sperrywink]

Corey- they grow up so fast, omg.

Fandom, it sucks in all of us in one way or another. *g*

Glad you are enjoying the BBBs.

[turps]

They really do grow fast.

I had to smile when I saw Keira posting fanart. I do wish she didn't follow me on twitter though. The only plus to that is she seems to have forgotten about her account.

I am. Aka's was fantastic.
