July means winter Down Under and recently it has been cold. Last week I think it was, it dropped down to 2 c / 34 F one night and that was a bit horrible for me despite all the layers on my bed. I couldn't cope with colder temperatures than that. If it snows, don't go has been my life long motto.

My work has been busy as it's school holidays. In the gift shop they have I've got one of my landscape paintings up for sale. I also have some greeting cards with my art on for sale as well; I've sold two cards so far so that's great.

I feel sorry for Australia at the moment; New South Wales is having trouble with a bad Covid outbreak and Sydney has been in lockdown.

I've got book club on Sunday; the subject is books or authors beginning with 'C'. I might bring along 'Cold Comfort Farm' which is always good for a chuckle, as well as 'Chalice' by Robin McKinley which is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast; the heroine has honey-based magic.

My laptop's hard drive broke down a little while ago and it needed a complete replacement. I lost some files unfortunately because I hadn't backed them up, urgh. Of course this happened just before season 5b (5b!) of 'Lucifer' came out on Netflix so I had to wait a week before my laptop came back before I could watch the episodes. It started off a bit slow and then really got going. When he's not going through angst and anguish, Lucifer gives the impression he's actually a golden retriever in disguise who loves his Detective. Aww. I wrote some fanfic after the season final which is up on A03.




There is an English woman on YouTube doing vlogs of Babylon 5 and is getting quite excited as she's working her way through season 2. Heh heh.

There is a cold south-wester outside at the moment so am staying indoors as much as possible.

Whumptober

imhilien: Fangirls (Fangirls)
So, there's a 'month long, prompt-based creation challenge' called Whumptober from Tumblr that I've just found out about and want to write for.  *rubs hands*  The prompts seem to be angsty and yes, I can write angst.

Fandoms I will probably write for; Harry Potter, Lucifer TV, Exiles / Galactic Milieu. I will post them to Ao3 since I'm not on Tumblr.

I'm currently writing / posting a Lucifer post-season 4 story (yeah, I got Netflix so I could watch season 4) so I shouldn't really do something extra, but I could write drabbles for this challenge. Which shouldn't turn into epics *crosses fingers*.

Ursula Le Guin, sci-fi / fantasy writer, has died aged 88.

She had a beautiful way of writing; I can still remember how stunned I felt the first time I read 'The Tombs of Atuan' years ago at my grandma's house when I was a teenager.

A later time: I'm at work in the staffroom reading a new book in the Earthsea sequence. It's the highlight of the day, her words are still beautiful.

Hooray, it's a new chapter of 'A Choice of Roads', finally.

Summary - A curious Hermione finds a way to see future visions of life with Harry or Ron. She didn't expect to see one with the dark Potions master... AU after 'Order of the Phoenix'.
