Nothing much!

Like many other people I have been having major problems commenting on other people's journals - so sorry I haven't been putting in my usual two-pennyworth, but I gather it is a widespread problem, so I'm sure you will all understand.

I hope everyone got gifts or cards for Valentine's Day from those you hoped would send them - possibly a few nice surprises as well. And for those of you who get fed up with Valentine's Day, I hope you were able to ignore it, or got something small and nice (thinks heart-shaped shortbread [livejournal.com profile] bogwitch!) from a non-romantic source!

[livejournal.com profile] enigmaticblues suggested it should be a day for random acts of kindness - and I had fun over my breakfast yesterday sending random virtual gifts to members of my FL - maybe I should have made them anonymous but then some of you might have been worried about unknown admirers - or disappointed when you found out that you didn't have an anonymous admirer after all! If you didn't get one please don't feel slighted - it was a random act of kindness.

For those still interested in the fan-fic, my part of Chapter 5 of Access All Areas is written, but S2C has been at work for the last 5 nights, but now he will be able to finish writing and splicing his stuff into it. Hopefully I can post it tomorrow, otherwise Saturday. Chapter 6 is already shaping up well too.

It's been quite windy today - 40mph average wind speed this afternoon - so I think I can use my 'blustery' icon - it's the first windy day since I found it!

Are you referring to technical problems with accessing LJ or are you at a loss re: what to say? I assume you mean the former.

Sorry - that wasn't very clear was it? I rewrote the entry, because whilst copying it before posting, just in case, I accidentally deleted most of it!

Anyway - the LJ Herald posted earlier tonight -

saying that it was a widespread problem - getting '404 Error' when trying to comment. I was glad it wasn't just me. Last night I could read everything, but comment on nothing - it was very frustrating, like losing my voice!

Thanks so much for the virtual chocolates! Much healthier than the actual kind :D I wanted to thank you yesterday, but LJ was being uncooperative. Of course I still need to see if this goes through!

Looking eagerly forward to more AAA!

Yay - seems to be working at the moment!

I was hoping for the big pile of cards to ovewhelm me as I walked in the door yesterday, but as always, there was nothing.

I got some Bendinks chocolate - no card because the local newsagent had run out(!) - I'd probably have been quite chuffed with the free shortbread!

It was very nice shortbead too.

LJ really is being a bear at the moment. It's very frustrating! I hope you had a good Valentine's Day!

Well I got given some nice chocolate, but otherwise it was pretty solitary - I saw S2C for ten minutes before I went to work, then for about an hour before he went to work!!

I love my rose. ;) (And I love that icon, too.)

Glad you liked the virtual gift! The Pooh icons were from [livejournal.com profile] book_icons, they are nice aren't they?

I did much the same, sending out a dozen virtual gifts and bringing candy in to work with me. It was not part of a plan, it just sort of happened that way...

I do so like the idea of Valentine's Day being a day of kindness!

Thank you so much for the virtual rose! I did receive it and I usually have better manners than to let it go so long without mentioning it. At the time, though, I was in the middle of leaving my job, packing up, and moving to Indiana. Made it here safely with three cats and DH in tow on Tuesday, in time for supper. Now I'm online at my sister's, catching up my lj and e-mailing off resumes. Thanks again; the virtual gift made my day.

I wondered where you were, I'm glad you've been off-line for a nice reason, not illness or anything. Wow - all moved - well done you!

I hope you have better weather to job-hunt etc in your bit of Indiana than [livejournal.com profile] ozma914 ishaving in Albion - he sounds fed up with snow. Although I guess it would make a change after Vegas!

Very good luck with it all.
