Timelies all!
My folks are coming in for the weekend. Tomorrow is Mr. S's birthday(He'll be 3!!) His party is on Sunday. Not much relaxation going on here.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Happy 3rd birthday to Mr. S! I hope he has a wonderful time!

Our wings are not tired.
They've named the boat "Brexity McBrexitface".
Much more amusing that the Brexit situation!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
They've named the boat "Brexity McBrexitface".
That is brilliant.

This afternoon, I start as my parents personal tour guide. Have sat & Sunday tours booked, but all else is on me. Wish me lots of patience. I get to answer the same questions over& over& over cause mom's memory & dad insists he's just going with the flow (spoiler: he doesn't!)
But it's been otherwise good. I doubt there'll be another trip like this; really think it is getting to be too much for my mom to cope with. So there is that.
Now I need to see if the lunch restaurant has my mom's jacket or if she left it elsewhere. PJ left this morning & left hers for mom, so not a problem, but....

Of course they did.
sarameg, I hope the trip goes well. I was sort of a tour guide/support for Dad a couple of times after Mom died. While it was challenging, I have some great memories from it.

So if anyone else gets voice crushes, let me introduce you to our tour guide, Kommi. [link]
(Haven't listened to the whole yet, just sharing... Could listen to him talk for hours.)
And *I* was the only one to get a hug at the end.

Of course you were.
That place is super cute, sarameg. Man, I would like to get back to Iceland.
Zero inclination to do work today.

That place looks adorbs, sarameg, especially the window detail.
