Where I Live Day? Also D-d gets good news.

[curiouswombat]

frimfram posted some lovely pictures of Cambridge a couple of days ago as an adjunct to her Hallowe'en story 'Reality Ends at the Checkpoint' (which if you've not read - go read!). She and I came up with the idea that a Live Journal 'Where I Live Day' would be cool - participants to put some pictures up of where they live (obviously!) on a certain day, so we all get a better idea of some of the rest of the world - not just the 'tourist brochure' stuff, but the real stuff. I know quite a few people already have put some pictures up that are what we were talking about - but - hey! you can recycle them if you don't want to do any new ones!

What do you all think? Good idea? Would you be willing to join in? Frimfram is cleverer than me and has made a poll - here is a link to the Where I live Day poll - http://www.livejournal.com/users/frimfram/40476.html#cutid1

We wondered whether soon was good, or would northern spring be better?

(There are two other questions as well - one is for AtS fans, and the other is related to a discussion about her default icon - is it a chicken or a tooth? Which is more interesting than 'which came first, the chicken or the egg?'!)

And in family news - Daughter-dear has just checked the UCAS website, and has discovered that she has her first offer of a university place - already!! It is from Glasgow, on 3Bs - which is cool, she only applied to places she would really like to go to, so even if no-one else offers a place she would still be happy with this one. So she has had the weight of waiting to see if anyone wants her lifted!

Yay! Go Wombatlet!

My baby also had an offer today. It's her last choice - Goldsmiths, but she'd be happy to go there if necessary. It's unconditional in her case - but she already has her A/L results.

Hurrah for Gill the next generation! Even though they are not their first choices in either case they are so re-assuring for them aren't they? If Glasgow and Goldsmiths want them then it is more likely that York etc will also want them. Especially as neither Goldsmiths nor Glasgow are exactly easy to get into!

Goldsmith's isn't so very hard, but even so, you're right - it does a lot for her confidence.
