How much can you throw over the walls?

[reddragdiva]

arkady came over yesterday and expertly attacked the garden while redcountess, Jim from upstairs and I watched. Jim and Mog are getting too old to do their side of the garden properly, but Arkady had a wonderful time attacking the roses. Then, as our carefully-Internetted Sainsbury's order was missing most of our Christmas dinner, we braved the crowds at Asda on the last Saturday before Christmas, OH FUCK ME DEAD WITH A CHAV, running home to make a chili con carne that actually worked. Particularly with a pint or two.

I stayed at Arkady's and then we set out first thing in the early afternoon to finish our Xmess shopping. We discovered with horror yesterday that our Christmas tree ornaments were nowhere to be found — we're hoping they're lurking under a seat in _nicolai_ or vampwillow's car — so I stopped by the Pier to get more. I am deeply distraught that they do not have the ridiculously gay rainbow mirror balls they had two years ago, but I got a purple thing with a feather, more mirror balls and a star for the top. Saw cybermuppet on the train to Camden. He, of course, has all his shopping done (bastard). I secured a complete selection of presents for Liz and at least one for Arkady. Everything is now wrapped and under the tree. I am eating dinner and guzzling a much-needed *pint*.

Huh?

[reddragdiva]

That one's a tit joke.

It sounds an awful lot like engrish.

She does drive a Japanese car.

I do indeed (pic in icon) but I don't understand that thread at all!

Two entries back.

I want a beer too (or a cider)

Our tree is made of silver tinsel and was purchased off of Ebay last year; it's the fakest, gayest tree in the world, now looking at starting its own home decorating series as I have decorated it with miniature lights wrapped in fake flowers and it's outdone itself. Oh, I love it.

meico has offered his place for the entire time I'm gone, which makes me think I should just settle in there and stay put - but I'd still like to come visit (and cook if you're brave). What are your thoughts?

Re: I want a beer too (or a cider)

[reddragdiva]

Visiting and cooking would be lovely too :-)

I must say that having a fixed place to stay would make your holiday loads better. How is it for public transport? Our place is "um okay" if you don't mind a ten-minute walk.

That icon is so wrong.

We are staying about a five minute walk from King's Cross, which I think is pretty great.

I luuvs the new icon. wechsler said it gave him "the fear," so I must be on to something. This one looked promising, too ...

Re: I want a beer too (or a cider)

Five minutes from KX and for the whole holiday is a vastly superior option, yes! You'll have access to all the public transport you can eat as well.

(I suggest you get a weekly card each. Somewhat cheaper.)

OH FUCK ME DEAD WITH A CHAV



I, for one, would find that quite interesting to watch.

As long as they didn't actually kill you.
Because that would be nasty.

I used to have little bogan chickies ("bogan" is sort of Australian for "chav", only slightly less terminally horrible) try to chat me up by saying "Gee, you're tall ..." "Yes, I am," I would say.

Decorating

You inspired me to put a picture of my Christmas tree up. Now, of course, I want the mirror balls you've described, though the tree and I would probably fight it out for a chance to wear them.
