It’s been a good week for entertainment this week.  I just finished reading “Lover’s Knot” by Donald Hardy, one of the new m/m romances from Running Press.  It was wonderful!  It’s set in a small Cornish village, and there’s a gripping plot that involves ghosts and revenge and the return of a demon lover from…

I managed to miss Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End so I still haven’t seen that film.  I’m not heartbroken to have missed it, but it might have been nice to watch it just for the sake of completeness.  Another time, maybe. Dr. Who was very RTD-like still – far too much rushing about…

Well, we had a very nice Christmas this year.  Dad came down from up North (near Manchester) and stayed from the 23rd.  He’s on his way home now.  Then on the 25th my sister and brother in law visited for Christmas day, so we ended up cooking for 7 – five adults and two children. …

It’s been a bit of a trying month, with both shoulders now getting in on the freezing act, scarcely any range of motion left in the left hand one, and permanent tiredness due to not being able to sleep.  However, some things somehow make up for it all and today I’m feeling very very lucky…

This year the standard was even higher than last year, and we were, again, struggling with the problem that we had so many good stories that we had to reject some for no better reason than that they were too long, or they were ever so slightly less relevant to the theme than other stories…

Thank you to genrereviews for including the I Do anthology in their list of books they rate as “Best of 2009” 😀 I Do! anthology Even ignoring the fact that all proceeds for this anthology go to support equal marriage rights, this is just a beautiful, beautiful collection of stories that explore the gamut of…
