Hey everyone! It's mine and Lex's anniversary next week (eleven years together, six years married!), so this weekend we ran away to York! ... The running was slightly compromised by the clutch on Lex's car giving up the ghost in a way that took out the brakes on Friday, but he's fine! We got the train instead!

The hotel felt super fancy because the rooms had a kitchenette thing in them for some reason. It was nice! It meant that we could have real food over the weekend instead of nothing but take-out. Lex cooked curries, I brought desserts, it was pretty great. We nested! We caught up on tv shows, because I keep falling asleep when we try to catch up on Fate/GO, and we went exploring York! ... We may or may not have stumbled into [twitter.com profile] portalbookshop, by which I mean we definitely did, it was a fabulous time, I have so many books now. And Lex has the new Legend of the Five Rings sourcebook, so he's happy too! Oh, and I finally got the chance to boot up Disco Elysium, which is so far very surreal and cyberpunk, and I've only just realised that my disaster protagonist is stomping around a crime scene in only one shoe right now, whoops.

So yeah, it was a good weekend! Got to spend it bothering Lex and putting cool media in my eyes, excellent work everyone. ... Of course now I'm cream-crackered and not ready to go back into work tomorrow, but it was worth it!

RIGHT, hello my darlings! I'm working backwards through August in my list of Things To Yell About On Here, which means capslocking about France! The obligatory twitter thread with pictures is over here if you want to see pictures of fish and scenery!

I got incredibly lucky with this trip btw; [twitter.com profile] captainraz, my fibling (fake sibling), decided that she wanted to revisit the place her family of origin used to go one holidays, but with her family of choice, [twitter.com profile] splend and [twitter.com profile] hardlyaverage! And as they were driving over, had extra space in the car, and I am a fibling, I got first refusal on filling that space!

... No, I don't know how I pulled off an extra holiday either considering that I spent most of August with £3 total in my bank account. Although [twitter.com profile] hardlyaverage is very strongly of the opinion that this has been my ONLY holiday, because apparently "Worldcon doesn't count" because "it's more of a business trip"?

... I've no fucking clue how I'm going to get all of these snowglobes to our Jill though. OI, SISTER, COME TO NOTTINGHAM.
