tree_and_leafAm still rather failing at Getting Things Done, though I did get to the bank and rearrange my financial affairs, hopefully somewhat more sensibly. My explanation of my soon to be somewhat unpredictable financial state (and the possibility that I might end up an impecunious undergraduate again in the medium term) was met by the financial adviser with some enthusiasm, as she told me about how great her vicar was ("And on the first Sunday, he came into church playing the bagpipes, because he thought that would get our attention." Well, yes, it would, I suppose).
Then I accidentally spent money in Oxfam (next volume of the Dresden Files, and "The Scarlet Gown," a book of mostly occasional verse about St Andrews). The cashier asked me if I would like the free gift of a rather manky looking apple which his colleague had just found lurking at the back of a shelf; I said, no, thanks, I was trying to give them up, at which he looked confused and said "I thought that was cigarettes?"
Then I ran into my supervisor, or rather she ran into me, because she was jogging; she informs me that she is in the middle of my last chapter.
In conclusion: a meme. Ask me to list my five favourite things for a particular category and fandom (eg, five Star Trek episodes, moments of Who, etc). Or - actually - five things, and not necessarily favourites. I don't know. I have lost the original wording of the meme.
