Good things this week!

Last night, I made Pancakes. LOTS of pancakes. So very tasty. Buttery sugary lemony goodness. OM NOM NOM. Still kinda stuffed now. HMM. should do that more often.

Today, I went shopping! First abortive attempt was to Castle Court (mall type place). Limped over - quite a bit without crutch, including steps, yay - only to discover had left bag with wallet in office. Cursed, went back.
Decided to go to Monsoon instead and ended buying not one, but two dresses (well, I couldn't choose). So SUCCESS there!

Also the sun is shining and I have Exciting Weekend Plans for 2 weeks in a row - this weekend, I grace Castle Thesmington with my stately presence, next week, Febmeet! For cider, refinement and so on even if it is still in bloody Feltham ;p . May even go the pub on friday. It's almost like having a life!

Rofl, Castle Thesmington

Is it in Thesmington Downs or Thesmington Valley?

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

You're not allowed in Castle Thesmington.

*sulks*

[hellison.livejournal.com]

But but... i have NEW DRESS and everything!

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Thesmington Downs I think. Since I can't even type 'thesmington valley' without shuddering

Thesmington Valley.

A dark glade between two light brown drumlins, Thesmington valley is known for its pellucid streams and copious curly reeds. It is a much-prized destination by day-trippers but difficult to conquer.

*bans you*


references to pink result in automatic bannification.

Oooh, you could have a riverside picnic with viperian entertainments

[hellison.livejournal.com]

but but but NEW DRESS. With NO PINK AT ALL

*looks pitiful and rejected*

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Viperian? Why would you want snakes at a picnic?!?

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

TOO LATE


*wavers internally*

He wants to release his trousersnake into Thesmington Valley

*smirks*

[thipe.livejournal.com]

It means RIVERSIDE.

Well, technically the spelling is riparian. But the V makes it sound COOL.

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

Yeah right, we all know what you RELLY MENT!

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

PS am now in love with concept of Thesmington Valley.

[thipe.livejournal.com]

Does this mean your valley is full of snakes?

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

Not yet

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Yes. I was afraid you might be. Snakes and all ;p

HELP

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

the curly reeds shivered in the breeze caused by the frantic wails of the trapped hellison as the bombay earth snakes slythed inexorably towards her.

Down in Thesmington Valley.

*stares at CLASSY new dress from MONSOON, now destined to be unworn*

*sniffs*

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Keep me out of your bloody damn valley! It's YOU the snake is after.


ps are there wild tonkers nesting amid the reeds?

[hellison.livejournal.com]

ps in yet more serendipity, word of the day on google...

lubricious: lewd; also, slippery or smooth.

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

nnnOO

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

God i dunno I''ll have to have a hunt around

[hellison.livejournal.com]

*sniffs*

Just... not a pink snake then?

(i very nearly googled for pink snake. Then remembered that I was at work and that might not end well)

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

har har har

[being-here.livejournal.com]

HYACINTH!

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Woo, I wonder if I can find one in time to bring it down on saturday ;p

[mollydot.livejournal.com]

Click on link for more info re habitat, etc!

[hellison.livejournal.com]

ooh! Blind snakes live underground or beneath a layer of rocks, sand, or leaves and rarely emerge from their hideouts. They have poor eyesight and rely primarily on smell and heat detection to locate their prey consisting of insects and insect larvae.

Sounds like Thesmington Valley would be the perfect habitat!
