Just thought I'd point you in the direction of this lovely Jack manip (torchwood) that nicci_mac made

That was all I wanted to share. Go watch if you haven't already. It's crack inducing.

Hello one and all -- I am now home safe and sound.

The trip home was better than out -- we had tailwind instead of headwind, so we made it into Copenhagen airport 15 mins ahead of schedule. This in turn meant I could catch a train earlier than I'd expected, bringing me into Odense at 9pm instead of 10pm local time. It meant I made it into the supermarket before it closed at 10 and I now have had a bit to eat and there's food for breakfast tomorrow morning ^_^

*hugs everyone*

Thank you for being with me for the past nearly three weeks of mad wandering around the lovely southern part of Scotland.

Thankfully I've got a few days before heading back to work on Monday, so I should be capable of moving without wincing XD

Hello one and all.

This shall be the last vacation report from me this time around. I'm homeward bound and just waiting for my flight home. I figure I'll be in my own home at around 10pm my own time (that's 9pm your time, Nicci) -- I still have to get from Copenhagen Airport to Odense and from the station there and home -- I get the feeling I'll be doing that last leg of the trip by taxi XD

Hope you're all well and good and I'll catch you at some later point online. Right now I've got plenty of fic on the PDA N gifted me with and a cup of Costa coffee (just finished off a triple choc muffin *g*) and I'll be settling down for the wait. it's still roughly an hour and ten minutes till my flight leaves - security was a quick walk -- nothing muc there.

Righ, toodles everyone, love you all and I'll be seeing you on the other side ^_^

I took the train to Edinburgh at 9 and met up with catspaw_sgjd for a day out in Edinburgh. The weather was better than expected -- it only rained when I got on the train in Dunfermline -- once I got to Edinburgh it threatened a few times but it stayed dry.

Early morning starts. Bex, Nicci and I left at 8.30 this morning to go to catspaw_sgjd's. After a bit of navigation annoyance with Edinburgh being dug up here and there, we made it to our destination of the day: Edinburgh Zoo
(later in the day we were joined by aswanargent). We ended up spending roughly 7 hours at the zoo -- yes, we're knackered -- and tomorrow we'll be feeling the pain.

Yes, finally did the pictures XD



( Falkland Palace and more )

So, Thursday went down the toilet. I had bad night and a worse morning, stomach cramps keeping me awake most of the time -- which meant staying in bed for the the whole day ) :

So, Friday turned out a lot better, we drove up to Falkland Palace, wasted ten quid on entry (not really worth it)

Drove down and got fish and chips at a perfectly greasy joint *g*

Came home and Nicci's having a nap, while Bex and I are watching Jim Henson's the Labyrinth *g*

Pictures from today shall follow at some point.

Today we canceled the Edinburgh Zoo trip because it seemed to be raining in Edinburgh. We took our chances and went up north to Blairdrummond Safari park and apart from a few specs of airborne water, we had good weather, even sun shine in between.

To catspaw_sgjd and her husband, happy 30 years, may it be many more to come.

For those of you into Torchwood and specifically Jack and Ianto and a combination thereof -- have a look at what nicci_mac did the other day. I sat next to her while she worked on it, so it's no wonder I wasn't getting anything done XD

the latest outragious thing

Today we, the Trio of Entrepid Explorers, went to the Butterfly Farm in Edinburgh. There were so many butterflies (drunk ones) flying over the place that it was almost dangerous to stand still even for the shortest of moments.

So, catspaw_sgjd, nicci_mac and I went through to the Royal Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh, and went camera crazy *eg*



( Royal Botanical Gardens - aka -- oh! That's what the macro setting is for... )

This day was done as a trio trip -- meaning it was catspaw_sgjd, nicci_mac and myself on a bit of a road trip, going through Kilmahog, Lake of Manteith (across it, not through it of course)

One not very camera shy seagull *g*

Here's the cut scene from Meat -- keep you eyes on both Jack's face, what he's doing with Ianto's hand and before that? How lovely flustered Ianto is. It's a thing Gareth does so very well.

Tuesday rolled around and so did a little trip down South Queensferry to see Hopetoun House.

Don S Davis died at the age of 65

He shall be missed -- I don't care who they set up as the leader of the SGC, to me it will always be General Hammond of whom I have the fondest memories.

Hello everyone.
Again...

*grins*

Nicci and I went down into the Glen this afternoon, wandering around the park, taking photos, chasing squirrels and photo shy bumble bees. The outcome? A nice set of shots.


One less camera shy bumble bee

The full set from today

Not much to report at the moment. Nicci and I are sitting around, each with our laptops (hers is the Tardis, mine's named Ianto *shushes people*)

We have little planned for today, apart from some website maintenance, lots of coffee and hopefully for Nicci, a bit of photomanipping and for me, a bit of writing -- for her as well if the writing bug bites *g*

*buries nose in mug with Australian Skybury and inhales*

So much for now, we shall see if something else comes up during the day.
