Happy birthday dear ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queenofthorns and jenlev!!! ** squishes and throws confetti ** I wish you happiest of birthdays! Two of most awesome ladies being born on the same day - this must be a very special day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( I wish I could teleport this to you!! )
London sitrep
It was a glorious trip and the Oracle User Group was very informative. I have many things to share, but I must save them for the time when I am less tired and brain-exhausted. Just a couple of things (that will not wait until tomorrow).
1) There was an earthquake in Yorkshire AND I WASN'T THERE! I have never have been in an earthquake and whilst I am not saying that I wish to experience a BIG earthquake (and neither I wish it upon anyone else) it could be interesting to experience a little tiny one?
2) I have properly started "The Game of Kings" by Dorothy Dunnett.
- ** sigh ** Well, I have been living in the UK a while and I have become better with my English over the years and people I meet for the first time don't ask me to repeat my phrases anymore. And I even read with a considerably good speed. But then a book comes along and whilst I LIKE IT and find it's style worthy of an immediate notice I don't seem to be familiar with a good half of the worlds on EVERY SINGLE PAGE of it. And this is intensified by the fact that I don't know English history well enough to recognize any of the historical names in the book. ** weeps ** OK, I like a challenge and I am sure if this doesn't kill me it will make my English better, but is it worthy of getting myself into 6 books 500 pages each? (I apologise for blurting this all out)
- Will Lymond get a nice OTP?
- I spoiled myself for the end of the book - Richard/Lymond and Richard/Mariotta, I just love it.
