A Lovely Weekend

[debris4spike]

That was a really nice weekend.

I had Tim & Claire over for Saturday lunch, and it was a nice relaxed time (and I managed not to poison them!)  They weren't too late leaving so all in all a lovely day.

Yesterday I worked in the afternoon - one disadvantage of working at a hospital.  However it was very un-busy, and I was able to sit and read some fan-fic on the computer.  I have 2 screens, so one has all the information I need, and the other has email, google, hospital web site etc ... and thus I can open up AO3 ... so, I sat and read in may spare moments.  The other fun thing is that on a Sunday the doctors order a delvery of 10 pizzas, and the company actually provide the member of staff with a pizza, as well.  So, that's what I had for lunch, and as it's a large one, the rest is in the freezer for another day.

Now this morning I actually did some housework ... and now am here to catch up with you all.  I shall see if any of you have posted anything fascinating, but before I do that -







28. The American comic-book artist, writer and creative leader of the Marvel multimedia corporation (Avengers, Spider-Man, Incredible Hulk), Stan Lee was born on this day in 1922. Have you ever read any comic books (graphic novels)?
I read a couple of the Dresden Files graphic novels.

29. In 1952 the first transistorized hearing aid was offered for sale (in Elmsford NY). Have you ever had your hearing tested?
No - Brenda wears hearing aids, but I think her hearing is worse than she admits, as I still often have to repeat myself.

30. Do you own personal scales and weigh yourself often?
I have some, as they were Mum & Dad's ... but probably only weigh myself once a year. Too many people are too aware of every ounce gained or lost





Right, will catch up with you all

That made me smile - it sounds exactly what I would have thought!

I've read a lot of comics and graphic novels. When my older cousins, two brothers, grew up, they gave me a box of old comics like Weird War, House of Secrets, etc, mostly horror comics. I wasn't into the Superhero stuff except Wonder Woman. Later on, I got very graphic novels and horror comics that I still have...Clive Barker, etc, and a huge one called FROM HELL that the movie with Depp and Graham was based on. I have had my hearing tested, yes, A lonnnnnng time ago. I own no personal scales. I use the one at the gym.

Graphic novels were never big over here when I was growing up ... you tended to go from comics to books, and then never went back to see what they were all about.

There was a store I used to go to to spend my allowance on horror comics and graphic novels as a teenager. I still have them all but gave the From Hell one to a friend. It wasn't big here either back then the graphic novellas I called them.
