dine and tara for the cards, I enjoyed them both a lot ♥
Also, thank you tosperrywink for the parcel, which arrived yesterday, and to turlough for the parcel which arrived today. Who needs muffins when you have such lovely friends ♥
Last night we picked up baby fannish niece from Newcastle. It was her first solo concert and my SiL was a bit worried about her getting home so late, so we were on picking up duty.
We had a good talk on the way home and I was reminded that at heart, all kinds of fans connect at some level. I'm a fandom old and don't hang in the same fannish spaces as my niece at all, but we still get each other on a base level. Along with the concert, she'd gone to a signing with Liam Payne earlier in the day and spent a long time telling me how he looked, how he acted, how his management were arseholes who don't promote him properly. How he was shorter than she expected and how not telling his height was a joke he had with fans. Also, how she burst into tears after seeing him and two new friends she'd made in line comforted her, and then started crying themselves.
And it was just, yeah, I got it. I really did.
Tonight we're off for the Christmas meetup with Pauline and my brother and his family. My uncle was supposed to go but he's had medical issues lately that means he's had to drop out. Which is a shame as we only see him at this meet-up at Christmas. But, Pauline's daughter and SiL have stepped up and taken over the meals and are good company, so all is well.
