I posted my no tags story yesterday. The challenge is still anon at the moment so I can't link. But, if you're interested in bandom you should go check out all of the stories. I haven't read any yet -- that's my plan for this afternoon -- but just with a quick scan, there's some interesting stuff. You can see them here.

The cold seems to have arrived abruptly, I had to break the ice on the birdbath for the first time yesterday morning and there was the first ground frost of the year. At least it's been sunny this morning, though it's gone overcast now. I've been out in the garden tidying up a bit, especially around the raised bed in front of the window. I suspect the gutters are blocked as water has been cascading into the bed and splashing soil everywhere, the window was filthy this morning with sprayed dirt. I'll have to arrange for a handyman with a big ladder to come and clean them before winter sets in completely, so that's another job for next week.

James has a stomach bug atm so is off work again. Not ideal in the slightest with him just going back recently, but there wasn't a chance he could go in. He's been sleeping on the couch most of today, so hopefully will be feeling better by tomorrow.

As for me, I'm going to make a big mug of tea and get reading. Corey is a bit of a tea fan so when I was shopping with him he recommended a smoky china tea but I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's very smoky and I'm really not sure about the after-taste. I'm going to try it again but I suspect the box may end up going to Newcastle. Which is fine, it's not like I haven't a cupboard full of other teas to drink.

Nice! I’ve posted mine and read the prompt for me but I’ve not had chance to look at the others yet

Awww it’s not been that cold here yet, there was a little yesterday but not much

I hope he feels better soon!

Sounds good!

There are SO MANY good words this round - I've had a delightful afternoon consuming all the ones that have already posted (I think there are 5 or 6 still to post, which feels quite high, but that will just mean more words later and longer to guess the promptly posted :D)


There seems to be some kind of nasty stomach bug doing the rounds at the moment - I know another couple of people who've been off and miserable with it (in disparate parts of the UK) I hope James is better soon <3.

Go you getting your story posted! Now you can bask in your productivity. :)

The gutter issue sounds very tiresome. I hope it can be fixed as expeditiously as possible.

And poor James. I hope he recovers quickly and thoroughly.

I wonder which fic is yours? ;P

It was overcast most of Friday and Saturday over here. Now it's back to annoyingly sunny. :-/

Hope James feels better soon.

My tea tastes are tremendously boring. I tend to use Lipton bags. Enough said. XD

Everyone seems to be having an early winter except us. I'm so envious! Here it just rains and rains :-(

Poor James! Stomach ailments are the worst! I hope he's feeling much better by now.

I know what you mean about the aftertaste of Lapsang. And I can only enjoy the very smoky taste in very small doses.
