Yes, Happy Birthday!

They’re saying they’re hoping to have the legislation in place by Christmas.  Yesterday was a good day for Australia, actually.  Marriage equality, and Australia won its soccer match, thereby qualifying for the World Cup!  Woohoo!

I’m just going  to say congratulations, Melrick, it’s fantastic news, and hopefully the politicians will be quick to put it into law, as the people want them to. 

Ah… now I get the picture. *nods*
Just turning up to claim their salary, are they? Yep. Sounds like a group of politicians I know too. And a bunch of unelected idiots whom I will never, ever, meet. And if I did meet them, the title I’d give them wouldn’t be the one they were used to. With the possible exception of Lord Adonis, who is invariably an incredible disappointment every time you see his picture alongside his name. *sighs* I might be tempted into sarcasm with that one.

Sort of like politicians everywhere, sadly. We need to bring back horsewhipping them.

Yay! Happy Birthday, DG!

Down your tools, have some fun today!

The problem wasn’t the people, it was the politicians.  They’re as useless as tits on a bull, and all of them have been too scared to actually make any big decisions, so they make no decisions at all.  Until now, at least, when we essentially forced them to pull their heads out of their arse and actually do something.

You seem to have been a bit longer than I would have imagined after NZ. When they had that vote then broke into song… one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.

I’m definitely excited. It’s tiring, though. I’m probably spending more than 2 hours a day just writing. (One wonders when I’ll get around to putting away those clean dishes that have been sitting in the dishwasher for the past day and a half.) But I’m glad I’m doing it.

Oh Nano season is so exciting! Are you excited?! I’m excited for you! (Too much of a commitment phobe to do it myself so I like living vicariously.) 

Sorry you have to miss it. Hope you can get back to it next year.
This is only the second time I’ve done it, and it’s every bit as intense as I remembered.

They should at least trick it out for you. A boiler really ought to have a flame job.

Buying would be so much more fun if everything were free.

It’s a heatwave today! 43 F/ 6 C! I might not wear gloves! 

You are too generous to me, lol… but seriously, how can people see the Tormund/Brienne, and completely miss the Clegane/Brienne potential? I think the rest of the world must be utterly blind.
I have evidence to offer!
Clegane’s comment while building that sept when being asked questions. “It was a woman.” He’s well aware of how his words could be taken. Their conversation about her in S7. That look when they finally see each other again in King’s Landing. The way they both check each other out during their conversation about Arya. Really, for two characters that are quite understated about showing things, this is the equivalent of shouting from the rooftops. Well, that’s how I see it, anyway.

I think it’s just no one can do it the justice you can…

Do it! lol
I’m not going to lie. I’m having as much fun writing this as anything I’ve ever written with the elves. The interplay between the three of them is great, and the slow undoing of Brienne… I’m just so glad to see her finally getting to have some fun. Real fun. And being properly adored and worshipped, instead of having to make do with the crumbs of attention thrown her way by characters like Jaime Lannister. I’m so going to let her pay him back for that later. In fact, I’ve already written some of that scene. Ha!
I just can’t help it. How is it I can have the only Clegane/Brienne/Tormund centred story going on, in the world? There’s something wrong with the world. There has to be. *sniffles*

Sounds like so much fun! Man I gotta steal my brothers hbo info so I can watch that damn season! Maybe I’ll try asking nicely...

See, I told you guys you needed a bit of snow… ::packs a little more of the fluffy Yule-snowflakes into boxes and ships ‘em out:: 

I'm with you, Desiderius, except that my son has a thing this morning.  Oh well… here the temp is 23, but the wind is only 3mph.

I’m staying inside!  This cup of hot cocoa should help.

omg yes. Wind cuts right through you. The other day, it was 12*F and wind was 30-35 mph, I walked from house to car (20 steps or so) and thought I was gonna die.

Local weather claims 28F/-2C … brr… cranking up the thermostat!

It’s a warm 6c (42f) feels like 5c here right now, bit of sun. Had worse days! Being quite exposed up where I live when the windchill is chilling it really chills.

I feel you, @BronxWench 15*F here right now. And our furnace likes to shut itself off. Stay warm!
