Misc stuff

Memorabilia was fun, as usual. I spent way too much this time, even though the one thing I'd been hoping to find, I didn't. But money well spent: Christmas gifts for two friends, more pics for my slash wall and more Supernatural autographs. Probably my last Supernatural autographs, as I won't be going to Asylum 4 or 5 (unless by some miracle they book JDM. But I don't see that happening). But there's a little unsigned space left on my box set, should a company capable of organising a piss-up in a brewery start running SPN cons in the UK.

Oh, but even more fun than Memorabilia was the German market in Birmingham city centre. I went exploring there with ynys_crodden on Friday. It was huge with some fantastic stalls and boy if I hadn't been travelling by coach I could have spent a fortune there, too. Those hats! And puzzles! And food. Lots and lots of food. But coach does rather limit what you can carry :( There were these chocolate-covered marshmallow thingies that...oh, boy. Very rich but so very tasty!

George's funeral is tomorrow. Sis, Mum and the UselessFiance^(TM) are all going. I am staying home to work on my Yuletide assignment and dog-sit overnight. I will take advantage of having the kitchen to myself and I'm going to make lemon-roast chicken and maybe some shortbread if I've got enough sugar.

Weather is crap, which will come as no surprise to the Brits on my flist. On the way back from Memorabilia my coach went through Monmouth and the flooding there is awful. Not in the town so much, but around it. Fortunately flooding is not a worry where I live - I'm atop a hill - but there's been a lot of damage in the surrounding areas.

Also...after Merlin on Saturday I'm kinda craving BDSM slash with Arthur as the sub...does such a thing even exist?
