Weather report... boring. And the Perfect Man!!

[curiouswombat]

The great snowstorms sweeping across the British Isles have swept across the bottom half of the small island - blown by steady 35mph winds. It began to snow at 9am. It snowed almost constantly until 5pm - and not a single flake has stuck below about 1,000ft. I am really quite disappointed as I am a bit of a big kid when it snows - at least for the first couple of days.

I do, still, send warm wishes, mugs of virtual hot chocolate, woolly blankets and so on to those of you who are knee-deep in snow and feeling the need to cuddle up by the fire. I hope you are all enjoying the weather rather than finding it makes life too difficult.

And now for something completely different.

Across the Atlantic, The New York Daily News went out to find Mr Perfect after revealing the results of a survey by an online dating site into what women look for in a man. They reckon that they've found him - and guess what? He's a Manxman. Actually his father taught me French at school and I can vaguely remember him as a small child...

Umm... It's nice to see that so many women are looking for someone pretty ordinary (on the better educated, higher incomed, more athletic side of ordinary, that is), but -- personally -- I'd prefer someone more quirky! My ex husband used to temper carving tools in the sitting room fire and weld machinery in the kitchen. I miss that!

BTW, a while ago, you sent me a link to a Legolas/Eowyn story, but I've lost it. Do you remember where it was?

Hmm - I think your ideal male might be right there in my icon...

As for the story link - hmm - I think I've passed a few on over the past few years - was it by any chance this one (http://efiction.esteliel.de/viewstory.php?sid=405)?

I think that might have been the most recent. I can also remember passing this one (http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=863) on to you at some time too.

Thorin :-)

Or Kili. (You'd probably get Fili thrown in for free).

It was the first link -- thanks! I'm updating the list at my website, and realised I'd never added that one.
