A Wheely Good Weekend.

I spent mopst of Friday through to a bit of Monday in Norfolk with (takes deep breath) [livejournal.com profile] nurse_liz, [livejournal.com profile] kowt and brother, [livejournal.com profile] nannyo, Mup, [livejournal.com profile] professoryaffle, [livejournal.com profile] rms, [livejournal.com profile] dr_wez, [livejournal.com profile] minspi, Stubeedoobeedoo, and [livejournal.com profile] geekpsi. Nobody attempted murder or GBH, nobody drowned in the river, nobody threw a hissy fit, and nobody got lost. Not a bad holiday, really.

Cromer in January isn't recommended for a shopping trip, however. Although, having said that, I did get a couple of lovely necklaces; one red leaf (which I can't find on the Artyfax website), and one silver & pale green enamel one by Pilgrim.

Otehr than that, I ate lots (including fairy cakes made from Real Fairies), drank a bit (but less than I'd expected; I brought home half my beer & more than half my sake), made a tactical withdrawal from a jigsaw puzzle, learned how to play mahjongg (if not how to score it) and passed on the next few Saiyuki volumes to [livejournal.com profile] nannyo (who was amused as I was about the many varieties of "monkey" insults flying between the mahjongg players).

After dropping [livejournal.com profile] minspi at the station and finding lunch, [livejournal.com profile] dr_wez kindly informed me that I looked shattered, so I left him to his haircut and went home. Where Cleo was so happy to see me that she came downstairs and walked all over me, despite [livejournal.com profile] professoryaffle being in the room, never mind the house.

Then I slept for 2 hours. Mmmm, sleeeeep.

I have a few photos, which I shall upload once at home. For now, I'm trying to remember how to work, hoping my stuffy nose doesn't develop into a Real Cold, trying to avoid the Duo website (*glares* at [livejournal.com profile] daegaer and [livejournal.com profile] louiselux) and absently wondering how I can become more feminine. I want to be more feminine. How do I manage this without crossing the line into "crap"?

Aaaaaaaagh Duo Boots. I don't think about them a lot.

The skirt/boots combo you wore to the classic car show the first time we met was feminine and fabulous and not at all crap!

I want to be more feminine.

You're pretty and have boobs! How much more feminine could you be?

I have a Mahjongg set incl. racks and if you're interested and we can find two more people, we could meet up occasionally and play. It's good fun as long as somebody knows how the scoring works. I might still have [livejournal.com profile] gandalftheblack's simplified version we used when we used to played at the Druids.

Aw @ Cleo. :o)
I briefly met [livejournal.com profile] razornet and [livejournal.com profile] vyvyan's kittens last night. They are extremely cute.

I agree with [livejournal.com profile] pmoodie. :D Although I did see some gorgeous red silk polka dot 1940s gowns the other day, that might do the trick. I can't remember the website right now though, bah.

Umm, more skirts less combat boots I guess. Not that I think it matters much, you look great anyway.

It's funny, cos I always think of you as being much more feminine than me. It's the pink beer I think!

Mind you, I've come away from the weekend desperate to not be thought of as everyone's mum so maybe it is just self-perception thingies...

That's weird, because I think of you as feminine anyway. I mean, not pink-and-fluffy feminine, but definitely feminine.

(I uploaded more Keiran, for I am your Slave and you sumbliminally made me do it. Obviously.)
