This website - lovefoodhatewaste - looks interesting. There's a lot here that's common sense, but there are some interesting ideas about storage and using up the 'veg on the edge' too. I want to try out the tip about adding that last, lonely, brown-ish banana to a vegetable curry!

Here is a birthday fic for you, based on the Microfic AU – “...And coming up later on Arts Review, we talk to the Philharmonia’s principal violinist, Benton Fraser, about the appointment of their charismatic and controversial new conductor, S. Raymond Kowalski...”

New fic - inspired by this picture



It could be set in the same universe as Tea For One For Two or One Man's Sweet Is Another Man's Poison. 
It's due South (which is not mine) F/K, about 500 words and for prudence_dearly , because she likes this sort of thing.

( He's No Mug )

 

1. Okaaaay, I'm going to try posting this from dreamwidth to see if I can work out the crossposting thing.  I am leafy  on dreamwidth.  (Oh the angsting over whether to '22' or not.  Be glad you missed it.)   I'm starting to add people, although I've already accidentally joined a community I didn't mean to and left it straight away.  Perhaps I will wait a day or seek advice before I attempt to import my lj...

2. Yesterday I knew 4 swine flu jokes.  Today that number has risen to 6 and may climb higher still! Panic in the streets!

3. This photo posted by prudence_dearly has got me thinking about a little ficlet.  Some people specialise in angstful angst or porny porn, but me? Hot drinks, apparently.

In ds_con_envy  news....

lucifuge_5  asked for F/K established relationship with the prompt "and now the other...".  I included a Sudoku-solving Dief and wrote One Man's Sweet Is Another Man's Poison for her.

I asked for any happy sort of F/K or gen story. Prompt: "Delusions of grandeur? More like delusions of adequacy." and alex51324  wrote me a fantastic snippet, Delusions Of Grandeur, where the boys finally buy a clue.

Plus, seekrit message to luzula  - thank you for the lovely postcard!

Giving out leaflets to my class today about a sports playscheme week over the Easter holidays, I noticed one of the activities was 'New Age Kurling.'  I can't decide whether Fraser would be delighted at the idea of children discovering the joys of curling or whether the 'K' would make him sad.......

Happy 11th March, everyone!

In honour of More Joy Day, I offer you, not something fannish but...........a tree.



It’s amazing the effect these seedlings will have when they’ve taken root! As well as providing fruit or nuts to help communities become self sufficient, trees provide shade and shelter, and even prevent soil erosion.

25 trees covers everyone on my flist so you have all given a tree to someone who needs it! Much joy to you all, today and always. ♥

ETA. I've been given a tree too, accompanied by a gorgeous F/K smut-let, which you can find here.  Thank you, Seekrit friend!

I spotted this first over at nos4a2no9 's journal - I'm looking forward to reading the others that have appeared on my friends list once I've posted these!

Try to write different categories of fic (angst, fluff, UST, etc.) in 10 30 words or less

( Smallness this way.....! )

Here's the year end writing meme, for who am I to say no to Nos.....?

For akamine_chan and love_jackianto - here are your little ducks before they swam off their separate ways!

I heard the news on the radio alarm and lay in bed yelling "Yes, yes YES!" (sorry, neighbours!)
Enjoy the celebrations US flisters - I am with you in spirit!
