I caved like a cave'ey thing and joined h/c bingo's mini-challenge. Saw my four prompts and got excited as they could easily match the winterhawk story. Then remembered that it's a crossover challenge. So many sighs. And also, brb, off to consider shoehorning a character from another fandom into the story.

No, seriously, I wouldn't do that, especially as I've got four nice prompts, panic attacks, bruises, forced to uncover past trauma and magical trouble. I'm sure I can think of a crossover that will use one of those.

We needed some actual human grocery shopping today, so went to Company. I wasn't sure if they'd have everything we needed due to it being a surplus store, but they did. It seems McDonald's donated a lot of their surplus stock to the company so we now have big bags of spicy chicken nuggets shoved in the freezer plus everything else we needed. Amazingly, they even had licky licks today for Murphy so I got some more of those for him. It did take well over half an hour to get in, but the queue was spaced well and everyone was cheerful enough, plus, the one in one out meant it was actually easier to shop inside than it is usually.

After getting home and having the daily battle to give the cats their meds, I went into the garden and tidied a bit, then sat in the rocking chair and soaked in the sun. It was weird because of the silence. Normally you'd hear music on a lovely sunny day like this, or people walking around and kids playing. But this afternoon there was nothing. But, a good thing was some of the seeds have started to sprout in the greenhouse. So, life goes on even if it doesn't seem so at times.

Magical trouble! Harry Potter, of course. NOt that I am biased or anything... ;-)

Good luck with cat wrangling.

Good luck with your gardening this year.

Biased, you!? *g*

It was the magical trouble that got me excited about fitting the winterhawk, until I remembered the crossover aspect.

Maybe I should join the many people writing MCR at Hogwarts. I'm sure Ray and Hermione could be BFFs.

I'm counting down the days until I have to stop giving the cats tablets. At this point but me and James look like we've fallen into a thorn bush.

Ohhh good luck!

that's good

Yeah it really is so strange

[turps]

Thank you!

The world is very strange right now. Even more so when you get out into it.

Good luck with the bingo!

[turps]

Thank you! I suspect I'll need it.

Ooh, bruises! ::perks:: Good luck with the challenge!

Hooray getting shopping done! I agree, limited numbers in the shops did make it easier last time I braved the wider world.

So cheered to hear your seeds are sprouting! I need to get some in, if I'm to have any veg this summer, but I am dragging my heels (and trowel) because I don't want to have to battle my way into the shed to find wherever the seed trays have got to, ugh. Glad you can get outside. <3

[turps]

Thank you. It's a nice challenge, just need to get into a writing mood and not pottering around doing other stuff.

The limited numbers helped so much. Waiting to get in was boring, but I'd much rather do that and then have the space and safety to move around without worry inside.

I had to sort out all my seed trays a few weeks ago. I can't say it's a job I enjoy. Plus, I suspect my garden is tiny compared to yours, so you'll have much more work to do. Still, *waves an encouraging trowel*

May the crossover inspiration sparks fly!

That sounds like a very productive shopping trip. I'm jealous of your chicken nuggets.

And yay for the seeds growing! That's a nice thing to hold onto in the midst of this very weird context.

I need to think of a crossover already. I should go and sit in the sun and just ponder.

I like that McDonalds gave away their stock and I do like their spicy nuggets. Shame we don't have a chest freezer, I could have filled it up *g*

I love going to look at the seeds. I mean, they're not growing fast, but they're growing, that's all that matters.

[turlough]

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist that challenge!! ;-D I'll keep my fingers crossed this will be the time you'll finally make it!

Sounds like a lovely afternoon. It's been warm and sunny here too but sadly still too windy to enjoy sitting outdoors.

[turps]

The challenge was so bewitching. Now I need to think of an idea already.

It was a lovely afternoon and still is today so soon I'm about to go potter in the garden for a while.
