Do you hear that? That blissful sound of silence?

Yes, that's me with the house to myself until around 5:00. Yee-ha!!!!

So! I've realized now why the voice narrating The Colour of Magic sounds so familiar. It's because it's being read by Nigel Planer, otherwise known as Neil from "The Young Ones." LOL. I am loving listening to this book.

I'm also excited because elfscribe5 has written a brilliant story set within the Lord John Grey series by Diana Gabaldon, and I can't wait for her to post it. I wish that that particular fandom wasn't even tinier than some of the others I frequent on occasion, but at least there are some writers out there. For anyone interested, there are stories posted here at Yuletide, and I'm one of a dozen or so members of outlander_slash, though it's not active. Still, it seems that some people are still active in LJ, and if there are other fans, feel free to join.

Today over in England Callum has joined legally with his longtime love, R. They're off to Italy for a honeymoon after that, and I couldn't be happier for two such thoughtful and welcoming men. Congratulations, my dear!

Time for more coffee…
