What a great question - but it's taken me some time to think about!

One of the many things that draws me into a fandom is the OTP .... I listed them in challenge 1.

However, there are a few fandoms where I could see my pairs ending up with someone else. Maybe at the heart of me I can't see how they would be happy in a different pairing (!), but I could see it happening.

For example, in M*A*S*H (the series) I am a great fan of Margaret & Hawkeye .... but there again I think that either of them could have ended up with Trapper-John.

On Stargate Atlantis, I am a fan of John and Elizabeth, but do wonder if John could have ended up with Tayla.

But, I suppose that, even though I have written that, my heart still prefers my original pairings!

Snowflake Challenge #4

Challenge #4

Since this is the start of a new year, this challenge will be e to set your own goals! Of course we can all make large or ambitious goals, remember that small and/or short goals are also good! Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


The trouble is that all my personal wishes are the same as I have typed over the last couple of years.

For fandom -
I so want to really work on making better banners
With icons I want to work on combining different fonts in the same image.
I have a WIP (over a few years) that I want to finish
I do want to get back to writing, again.

For RL -
Spring cleaning ... in fact, any cleaning!!
My shed needs re-organising

Sadly most of those are similar to previous years ... maybe this year will be better!!

Happy 90th Birthday Elvis

Today would have been Elvis Presley's 90th birthday, and the radio is playing a lot of his music today. I am happy as I am actually a great fan of his music. When I was younger he was one of the "stars" whose poster I had on my wall. I was in France on holiday when he died, and remember that day ... so just thought I would share some of his music in case you are as big a fan as I am.

I have also snagged another meme, from curiouswombat ... but kazzy_cee has yet again worked out the full list. Thank you ladies. So it's a photo a week going through the alphabet ... I am actually already behind, but at least I have week 1 of the first half ... ARAN ... this jumper was knitted by Mum for Dad and he wore it every winter for years ... I do still occasionally wear it, and yes, it is still lovely and warm.




Work went well yesterday - and I am going back again later, so that will keep me out of mischief.  I am actually hoping to get some icons made this morning before I head off ... well at least it save me from doing housework, doesn't it?

So, let's get a question done -




8. Do you tend to text people or phone them and chat?
Depends on the person.
I chat to my friend Christine on the phone every week
Others I text – but often just to arrange a get-together.
I have one friend in USA, so, yes we text all the time!


Right, let's get on.
