mini_wrimo is open for sign-ups. If you've never used the comm it's a very low-stress challenge where you pledge to write a certain amount of words throughout November. You can pledge as many or as few as you want, I suspect if I do sign - because I haven't written a word for months now, I'll be sticking to a daily 100 which seems doable.

I've been enjoying seeing all the Yuletide letters being posted, especially by fannish friends who haven't posted for a really long time. It's nice to see they're still out there and still fannish, even if not in the same places I hang out.

I have the last ep of House of the Dragon to watch tonight. I'm very much looking forward to it.

We did meet with Corey the other day and he did get the stuffing hugging out of him. He's decided to grow out his hair so it's nearly shoulder length, and that along with his bushy beard meant he's looking very hairy yeti-like. But, is still enjoying his job a lot and sounded so confident about it as he was telling us about the craft beers he's been ordering and complaining about the actors who come in from the theatre next door.

The christening didn't actually happen yesterday. I haven't posted about it but Kayleigh and Lucy have been having some bumps in their relationship and had an argument on Saturday night so everything was cancelled. They've made up again, but yesterday everything was just too raw to stand in church and have a meal. So, they'll try again in a few weeks.

My MiL is still the same but now starting to crave sunshine and fresh air as she's in a side room with the door constantly shut due to her having flu. If she'd been on the other side of the corridor she would have had a window to outside at least but where she is now it's nothing but artificial light and a window to the hallway. We've visited for the last three days but my SiL will be going tomorrow so I see a cinema and walk day in our future.

My MiL has paid for tv at the hospital so while we were there we got to see Rishi Sunak be announced as the new Prime Minister. The whole political situation is ridiculous, it got ridiculous ages ago and I can't see it changing any time soon. One of the nurses who came in said Larry the Cat would do a better job, and I have to agree with her. He couldn't do any worse, that's for sure.

Thank you! I got a bit of a shock when I realised I had to actually produce words yesterday, but fell into a tiny Way bros scene and I have to admit, it felt comfortable, like being home.

I love the yuletide letter time of year, it's so nice to see people are still around, somewhere :)

Same. So many people posting letters, and it's lovely to know they're still out there.
