Hogswatch : almost over

[burntcopper]

Well, fully chocolated out. (seriously, my family got each other chocolate. specifically Hotel Chocolat.)

Dr Who download being v. slow - missed most of it due to parents deciding that we would be having christmas dinner this year when everyone was actually *hungry*, which meant early evening - you graze the rest of the day as it is.

On that topic...er... does anyone know a source for the Vicar of Dibley special? It doesn't seem to be something that appears on torrent sites. I find myself wanting to watch it.

The haul consists of Noel Coward cds, Turkish delight, Dixie Chicks CD, posh moisturizer, chutneys and pickles strong enough to blow your head off, a swanky bag and some other bits.

In other news, amused by the fact that two of my teams have either got draws or won in their Boxing Day matches. Reading drew against Chelski (no mean feat), Newcastle lost to Bolton (twits) and London Irish vs. Leicester, to which my brother buggered off to gibbering and predicting gloom and massacre to us, was actually won. I suspect he is probably still celebrating. (to those unaware - London Irish have for the past several years been based in Reading)

reading my way through yuletide. I may have squeed my head off at the Chronicles of Prydain section and the fantabulous Entourage and Torchwood fic. Always interesting to see what fandoms are popular this year, some which you never expect. Sadly, Jeeves and Wooster section was about middling this year, including one real dud. May have to see if I can get the indeedsir lot going, bunny-wise...

(also in the plotbunny section : me pondering that perhaps the world needs fic set in the thirties where Ianto is actually Jack's valet, as opposed to the entirety of Torchwood's. Or possibly time-slip, Ianto is acting as Jack's valet and muttering about it while Jack protests that it's basically his job description in Torchwood three as it is. 'Perhaps, sir, but there's a difference between job description and job title.' And now I have images of him joining the Junior Ganymede and Jeeves and him having friendly one-upping for efficiency competitions. jamjar, feel free to come in at any time...)

Okay, so, have you got to this one (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/31/area51.html) yet?

Also I'm totally part of the world that needs fic set in the thirties with Ianto as Jack's valet.

oh yes, that almost killed me. Especially Vince's pleading face when the Doctor comes onto him, not to mention the 'more of your bloody family?' line. Because the probability of running into one of jack's shags maybe be fairly high, but there are only so many Tylers in the universe. (wait until Russell's next project for the new additions, and that doesn't even include the extended family of Life on Mars)
