I had a fantastic weekend over in Reading. I have some lovely, charming photos. AndI am very tired now. I was going to post some of the lovely photos, but because I am very tired now, i stuck the memory card in the wrong slot (hur hur hur, etc) and now it's stuck and I can't get it out. Bugger.
I might have tweezers somewhere, maybe that would work...

Anyway. Weekend, fab. Saw Neil Gaiman, who did a great reading and Q&A thing but opted for pints over waiting in the enormous queue for signing so no kidnapping.
Met [livejournal.com profile] kimkali who is also fabulous and lovely.
Had refined train journeys with [livejournal.com profile] malvino, also pints, Horror (of the film variety), french news and clamberings over a very badly placed sofa bed (seriously hotel. Placing the sofa bed so it precisely fills the space between the main bed and the bathroom is a Very Stupid Plan, 'k?).

And of course much horrormeet goodness, courtesy of Shambelina and Special Time, who very graciously hosted, didn't mind us showing up A Bit Late on friday (due to those pints) and were all round wonderful. The barbequeing in the driving rain saturday was highlight and I still can't stop singing 'I'm cooooooking in the raiiiin just coooooking in the raaaain'. The resulting food was v. tasty tho.
Also, possibly the worst horror film ever, Mr Pinchy and of course the best moment of all, Shamblina bursting into the living room declaring "Quick, fetch my camera. And some butter!".

If I hadn't stuck the bloody card in the wrong bloody slot you'd see why too :/
Now, I am off to hunt for tweezers, then go to bed.

"Quick, fetch my camera. And some butter!".

i tremble in anticipation!

p.s. turn computer OFF before inserting tweezers. just a suggestion!

It was a very special moment ;)

and i did! But it didn't work, just got the bloody thing stuck even further in. May have to Take It To the Shop :/

oh dear! (just taking the case off might help. but i am not ADVISING you to do that. i probably would though!)

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-11-02 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I may have tried that. Well start trying it. But i got afeared of it all going wrong and losing tiny screws so I changed my mind half way through ;p

Wrong slot / bugger = excellent phrasing. You shall have a cookie.

Kidnap plot is not abandoned. If anything it is the sort of thing he would approve of, given his increased-earnings after disasters, and it would probably be rather welcome if there was cake and we dressed up like the almost undead with unicorn steeds.

I only have one slot which helps.

One can get grants for studies yes?
I should look into this.

yay cookies!

zombies on unicorns you say? That couldn't possibly fail!

And having only one slot would definitely make life a simpler at times :p

Yup, zombies on unicorns, and he might even come along willingly.

There should be cookies, many cookies, possibly amusingly shaped cookies...

oh and cider and gin (just in case)

Hurhurhur :D

There was a hole, I thought it was my duty to see if my finger would fit. Wine may have played a part in that.

At least there was butter though

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-11-03 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously *someone* had to try it, and surely there's no better man for the job ;p

You should have waited!!!

Last night I watched the grand prix - read as fell asleep till the final 2 laps which I watched :P, had a long long bath, watched Strictly, went to bed ... Does the excitement never end!!


Was a pleasure to have you over as always :)

See you soon xx

I know I know, but I figured I could post some of them while half watching Steven Fry ;p
I may have to get them off you instead! Until I can hoke it back out again anyway...

You guys will have to come back over here at some point too, I even still have all your WKD from the last time!

MMMM cheeeky vimto .... nom nom nom


I'll stick yours on the server as well as ours later on then shall I ? ;)

[identity profile] caramel-betty.livejournal.com 2008-11-03 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
Who was it that was telling me cheeky vimto = WKD + port? I forget. Anyway, that combination sounds intriguing plus vomit-inducing, all at once.

I think David would approve of Gaimansquid. He could star in an episode of Baywatch, threatning to take over the world, and David could rescue the lovely [livejournal.com profile] hellison_1 from the squid's tentacley love.
