State of the wombat.

Well - it's quiet around here - S2C is in bed, last night was his last shift at work for a couple of weeks and he's just rotating back to the same hours as the rest of us.

Well into the same hours as me - Daughter-dear isn't here at the moment - not that she has gone back to York yet, no, she's in Krakow. She came in last Saturday evening and said 'Katie and I think we'll go to Krakow for a few days.' 'Oh?' says I, 'When?' thinking 'the Easter holidays' or whatever. 'Saturday,' says D-d.

So they organised themselves, boat to Liverpool, flights from Liverpool, hostel for 4 nights, hotel in Liverpool on the way home, boat home on Thursday.

Looks a very nice place - here is a webcam - especially for Kathleen and Jim!

Next Monday we take D-d back to York - both S2C and I. Which means leaving the cat at home alone. I think he is better in his own surroundings, with someone coming in to feed him, but S2C and D-d think he might run away from boredom if there is no-one to make a fuss of him. I think he will just sit and howl in a cattery - and so I have arranged a compromise - I will ask our neighbour to pop in and feed him in the mornings, and my 16 year old niece will pop in after college each day for a while to feed him again and make a fuss of him. He gets fussed, and she gets the use of the widescreen TV and 100+ channels.

Seems to be a plan - we'll only know it's worked when we get home after our 5 days away.

My part of the next chapter of Access All Areas is written and now S2C is finished work for a while hopefully he will get his bit done. We're in an exciting bit!

Talking of stories, can I recommend Riders by new writer winsomeone. It is on seasonal_spuffy; all the chapters are posted, one after the other, on the community, it is complete - 29 shortish chapters and an epilogue - I have sat and read it this afternoon.

Summary: Buffy and Spike set off on the trail of a killer and wind up in alternate dimension 1870’s Nevada trying to prevent the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from rising. PG13. Good, good stuff.

Just meandering about York is fun.

I know - I never just take her and come home next day, I hang around for a few days every time.
