Today The Mother and I went shopping to buy the last of the Christmas presents and some other bits and bobs. We still have a couple of things to get but we're very nearly done, hurrah. I also saw some boots that I like in Clarks so hopefully The Sister will help me out with her staff discount.

Tomorrow I need to go to the local Factory Shop and pick up some trainers (my first in 10+ years!) and hopefully a pair of jeans/trousers. Then I should basically be prepped for Aberdeen.

Tonight we're watching Merlin (huzzarms!) and after dinner I'm going to do a pre-bake wherein I test my newest biscuit/cookie recipe. It needs refrigerating overnight so I can bake them tomorrow morning. If they come out well that's a few gifts sorted out (I AM TERRIBLE) (& also skint).

In a couple of minutes I'm going to call up T and N in Soton and hopefully have a good long blather about absolutely nothing. Strip me down and paint me excited, y'all. Um. Or not.

Challenge #5 at picspammy is favourite people or something like that. Anyway, in a move that shocks absolutely nobody my two entries were Saffron Burrows and Thandie Newton. I am also considering wasting some time tomorrow doing minispams of Michelle Yeoh and Claire Forlani. We'll see.

In other news, I totally want to watch old school NCIS right now. Which is great because s1 is being repeated on Saturday nights, yay.

Speaking of: fic rec! McThief (NCIS) by oxoniensis is a short post-6x07 ficlet about a missing stash of chocolate. It is lovely and funny and joy-inducing, much in the way of the show itself. Many hearts.

And now to go and do... things.
