Ooh, I'm in trouble.

Like I needed another dessert to be obsessed about. I just bought this package of McVitie's biscuits, and it's almost gone. Granted, I shared some with the Farlow's when they came home last night, but still. They're just little tea biscuits, very plain, but I can't stop eating them. It's a good thing these aren't too bad for me, or I'd really be in trouble.

Pudding, biscuits...if I ever live in England, I'm going to have to exercise so much more to avoid getting fat.

The snow didn't stick yesterday, dash it all. Is it too much to ask that we get a little snow, or at least that the roads ice over, so I won't have to go to work tomorrow? I think not.

For LOTR fans, the most amazing clip of Billy Boyd singing swing music is up over at boyd_daily. From a recent gig in LA, and he's singing Beyond the Sea!! There are no words. Go forth now and download.

Man, WIP Amnesty Day is still going strong. People are posting their works-in-progess all over LJ, hundreds of the things. It's marvelous :) Lots to read over at wip_amnesty. My favorites are tiamatschild's Deryni novels snippets featuring Denis Arilan/Thomas Cardiel. So. much. love.

I've noticed I haven't been getting about half of my LJ email notifications lately. It especially seems to eat up ealgylden's comments, for some reason. So if you've replied to me somewhere and I've neglected to respond, this is why. *kicks LJ*

Waving...

Well, I've send you maple tea along with the Eowyn card. : ) Think it will go with any of your british desserts?

Watched Billy singing swing music. He also did it I think Sunday in Glasgow with part of Robbie Williams' swing band. I'm like going. Wow Billy singing with Robbie's band. Wow. I just love Robbie singing swing. Billy's not bad. Of course, I automatically which the words of Beyond the sea in french. Charles Trenet wrote both versions a long long time ago. Heard he also sang Mack the Knife. Now that I would love to hear Billy sing that song.

If you want to hear Robbie singing swing music you can at Robbie Williams you click on music and choose tracks. His fourth album is the swing one. I have it on CD and DVD. Fantastic.

*hugs*

I just got your package! Thank you so much for sending the card, and for including the yummy tea! I had some at work today, and I have a feeling it will go very nicely with the tea biscuits :) *hugs*

I too would love to hear Billy sing Mack the Knife, in *any* language :) God, I wish he'd make an album.

Thanks for the link! I'll go check out Robbie Williams :)
