This is gonna be a long post (but it's got pictures and linkies!)

Today I finally had some time to talk with my long-term intern. Up until now I simply put him to work so I could focus on the Xmas project;) Turns out he's a big fan of Harry Potter plus Buffy and Angel. Wahey! I got an e-mail from the bossman asking if we could save the enthused chatter for breaktime. *huffs* Aaaaaanyway, we talked about both series, the books and the films, it was fun. ( But then he mentioned Dumbledore... )

-change of subject-

The little relapse seems to be not as minor as I had hoped. Moving around after sitting down was a bitch, especially this morning. But I kept going and during my walk at breaktime, I found a lovely new cardigan to give me comfort. Mmmmm. Also: it has been very cold this week, so I got to wear my very pretty, very colourful scarf again. Want to see pictures of my cuddly clothes?

-and on to an even better subject-

Ever since The Marathon Of Soaking Wet Men I've been obsessed by looking for Hornblower-fanfic. Some time ago I finally stumbled upon the most marvelous archive. And last weekend I read the best story/chapter so far. Even if you don't know anything about the original books or TV-films, it's worth a read, because it's so very beautifully written. I highly recommend the whole Laurel and Rose series, but you should all definitely read this part:Home And Away Just in case you need some visual encouragement, I'm posting a truckload of screencaps of main characters Horatio Hornblower and Archie Kennedy. ( An introduction in pictures (and a summary of the story so far; )
