We ended up going to Holy Island and Seahouses yesterday. Nanna's friend is so cool, they have the kind of friendship you can only have after over 70 years of knowing someone. At times it was like a very interesting history lesson as they chatted about what they did in the war and where their husbands served. It was also like I had two nannas for the day. We stopped at Alnwick for coffee, and both started fretting because I wasn't wearing my coat and it was showering. The fact the cafe was literally over the road from where we parked didn't seem to matter, or the fact that James was only wearing a t-shirt too.

So we drove on after a most delicious mocha, and when we stopped for dinner I got out the car to find Vi pointedly holding my coat open, and then helped me put it on. I was surprised she didn't zip it up and put up my hood too. Then when we were actually eating dinner she asked if I needed my bread buttering, which really, I could manage. She was just this sweetheart and I liked her a lot. It really was a good day even though it rained heavily through most of it.

Today we've been re arranging some stuff in the living room. James and Corey have just gone to the dump so I'm taking a LJ break before they get back. While things are upside down right now it means things are done before James goes into hospital next week. He had his pre op assessment on Friday, so things are a go.

The mcr4u stories are going live and I haven't had time to read any. This is not on! However, I have things to do first, so Remix for me now :)

ETA: I forgot to say. While at Seahouses James bought me a huge coffee mug. It had all the Aquarius qualities on it, including the words hot and moist on the bottom edge. See, my badfic addiction was destined from birth. It's not my fault!
