Anyway. Let it be known that I have finally started up a separate LJ community just for my icons. I think my icons are slowly improving, but that's really for others to judge. Suffice it say links will be updated here to direct people straight to it.

Dear Makers of Pasta Packets,

What is the point of supplying a handy-dandy strip of tape to reseal the bag if you make the bag so damn difficult to open in the first place that you can't actually do so without ripping it to shreds and thus rendering it impossible to reseal it at all?

No love,
Nen (who is indeed sounding rather like Basil Fawlty right now and doesn't care)

Yeah, unlikely, I know, but meh. Anyway, I've just been told that this fantastic show has started airing in Canada as of yesterday. It's not too late to start watching it - episode one is not much more than 'set-up' of plot and characters and you can get a full resume of the story of episode one from the BBC site (link below). I cannot reccommend this show enough. It's the BEST telly I have seen in YEARS. Truly superb.

This morning we had to go out and when we got back, as we got out of the car, hubby started throwing snowballs at me. All's fair in love and war so I started throwing some back and it descended into a mad scene involving much silliness and hysterical giggling. Most of the hysterical giggling came from Nenyaling, it has to be said, who doesn't remember when we last had snow (since she was only a baby) and thinks... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Nenya) http://nenya.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/14 Wed, 24 Jan 2007 12:56:20 GMT http://nenya.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/13
Anyhoo, since this thing now exists I guess I'll post stuff from my LJ that is in the public domain here if anyone is even remotely interested (which is likely to be a 'no', but meh). :P
