Snowflake Challenge Day 1
Jan. 1st, 2021 04:18 pmI had a mini flurry of Christmas cards yesterday, thank you so much ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
misbegotten, stallamira and spasticat I enjoyed every single card, thank you for thinking of me ♥
After a few busy hours, the house is Christmas decoration free with 90% of boxes put away. There's still a bag left out because it's inevitable I'll have missed something, it happens every time. As always the place looks bare, but I've got the candles lit so everything still feels cosy, just in a less sparkly way.
The change of year went out almost unnoticed, especially as we were in bed before midnight. We grazed on the mini buffet and I finally watched the Christmas Bob the Streetcat film. It was cheesy, it was predictable, it made my heart clench when it showed people being happy and crowded in a Christmas market, and I loved every moment. Though again with the heart clench when the real Bob got a RIP mention at the end.
Sadly the year ended with one last bit of bad news when Kayleigh and Lucy's wedding was cancelled again. It supposed to happen in three weeks but has been in the balance since the NE was put into tier four. So, not surprising but still gutting for her, especially as goodness knows when we'll be out of this tier.
It's also the 1st so that means Snowflake Challenge number one.
Challenge #1
In your own space, introduce yourself! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I'm going to cheat and link to the comprehensive version I posted last year which is here.
But shortish version is --
We lost Tinker last year but adopted Murphy, other than that just add a year to any numbers and I suspect the only new thing is this last year has contained a lot of The Musketeer reading for me, especially Aramis focussed reading. At this point I've probably read nearly every Musketeer story at A03, which resulted in many emails over the year saying, but why do they only eat bone broth, cheese and apples? Usually toteigh_corvus who was often the recipient of that question.
Okay, it's not really a serious question, I know they do eat other things, just when you read a lot all at once it seems like 99% of the time it's cheese, bone broth and apples. I mean, mix it up a little, have some bread or even push the boat out and roast a rabbit.
Ahem, yeah, getting back to the challenge, the short version of that link, hi, I'm Terri, I'm a fandom old, love Aramis, Mikey Way, Clint Barton, Chris Kirkpatrick and many others. Like cats and long baths, am normally a cinema addict, but you know, 2020, go to the beach often, in other times am a regular at a handful of cat cafes, enjoy coffees from Costa and enjoy writing when I actually do it. Sadly that hasn't been often in the last few years, but I live in hope I'll get the spark back, and maybe this year actually get that h/c bingo.
And if you believe that....
I don't care if people lurk on my journal, but will always welcome anyone who wants to say hi. I also read and comment on both DW and LJ, but tend to always read DW first, simply because the vast majority of my flist are there.
