Grrr - Life!!!!!!

I have actually been overall better - but in feeling mostly better I have tried to (slowly) get caught up with a few really outstanding housework tasks, and get things like a hair-cut ... you know ... Life!!!

Those boring everyday things that need to be done, yet really are totally boring, both to do and to talk about!

While I have been working on some slower shifts I have been busy and completed a set of 10 icons, following 2 lines on a bingo card. I am not 100% happy with half of them as they weren't done on my normal program, but at least I was able to get a set completed, so am giving myself a tick for that!

The first 5 are season 1, the other 5 are season 3 ... all BtVS though.




1 - Peridot 2 - Frozen 3 - Raspberry 4 - Kiss 5 - Youth
Peridot Frozen Raspberry Kiss Youth
6 - Friendship 7 - Frozen 8 - Bow-tie 9 - Family 10 - Warm Colours
Friendship Frozen 2 Bow Tie Family Warm Colours


As ever, all are snaggable, but credit would be appreciated. The credits are available over at my icon journal - [livejournal.com profile] d4s_icons



I had hoped to have tomorrow off, but both shifts had the people call in sick yesterday ... so am working all day, but had my Monday shift cancelled ... so have managed to make plans to go out and enjoy myself. So, the earliest I shall be back is Tuesday, so here's a catch-up, and ahead planning ....





19. Do people shorten your given name, and if they do, do you mind?
Unfortunately, yes. I love my name and most people at work are good at keeping it correct ... but all the family shorten it (except Dad), and some people at work think it's frienlier to shorten my name. But, by choice, I am Deborah.

20. Are you left-handed or right-handed? Would you like to be ambidextrous?
Mostly right-handed, although can slowly write left handed as I had to when I broke my right wrist last year..
However when I was an osteopath I preferred working left-handed.
I did judo left-handed, could not get my head around right-handed holds.
With fencing I learned my techniques right handed, but could fight either left or right ... my teacher actually said my technique was cleaner on my left hand!

21. Do you live near any trees? What’s the tallest tree nearby?
Yes ... most are similar heights, about the height of a 3 or 4 story house.

22. Do you have many lamps in your home, or do you rely on overhead lighting?
I have both. I have a spotlight where I sit, so when I am jigsawing then I have good light.

23. Do you own any clothing you only wear for a specific activity?
Not now ... although a coule of dresses (like the one I am wearing) I tend to keep for work, but not for any specific reason.

24. Are you good at packing when you go away, or do you pack all the things ‘just in case’?
I do pack "just in case" however much I say I wont!!

25. If you ended up on a deserted desert island, what luxury would you want to have with you?
My camera ... or my Kindle.








Right, I will try and catch up somewhat before heading off to work!

Icons, And More Icons

Another later start so I have managed to get these icons finished as they all have to be posted before the end of the month.

I am going to visit Auntie Joyce then, as she has decided to (probably) go into a care home.  She may change her mind, again, although I somehow doubt it this time.  So I shall go up Sunday & back Tuesday.

So ...

This set of icons is made for Round 19 of somein30 ovr at DW [community profile] somein30and the theme is Geometry.   I decided to do some BtVS season 3 icons to try and inspire me to finish the fic I am working on that is set in that time-line.

These icons are made for round 157 of  your_favourites over on DW and are from a great unappreciated show - Blakes 7 ... 4 seasons shown 1978 - 1982 on BBC.

And, now I must get something to eat before work ... so ...

27. Are both bad and good things needed in order to truly live life? Can you have the bad without the good? The good without the bad?
If you don't get the bad, you don't get a chance to appreciate the good.
If you don't get the good, the bad will drag you down.


Right - must get on.  I will try to catch up later x

BtVS Season 3 Icons .... And A Few Thoughts On WWI, 100 Years On

At long last I have my internet back.  The company I am with did loads of tests and eventually said they couldn't find the problem.  If I needed more tests I would have to pay to get my house checked.  Anyway, I had to send a couple of photos to a friend and gave it a go ... it worked!  So whatever they did or didn't do, it worked.

Now I have a set of icons to post .... these are for round 3 of [livejournal.com profile] btvsats20in20 and my theme is BtVS season 3.  Hopefully, as ever I have managed to both capture a few of the more unusual images, as well as some of the on-going story.  Anyway ... hope you enjoy them.

Here are the 3 teasers -

ExpandThe full set is here )
So, now I have internet and actually had to cancel todays shift as I am in too much pain to work, I shall get some photos of my London holiday posted. As I do that I am watching the WWI services from yesterday, as I don't have a TV I am catching up on iPlayer.
I did remember to turn my lights out ... and had a candle burning in my window ... and at 11 when I blew it out, I noticed the house opposite me doing the same ... that is part of what remembrance should be about - we are all affected.

"Normal"


I have just been re-watching Buffy Season 3, as I want to get back to my 3 W.I.P.s .... and on that note, I think I need to watch the series again. 

As someone who loves the character of Spike, it is a long series, with one dramatic episode in the middle.

However I do like Oz, and loved watching Wes (seeing as I still haven't watched Angel, this is I know not the Wes many of you love!) ... and really enjoy watching Buffy, herself, in this series.

Over the last few days there has meen a discussion on CDS about Joss and metaphores that were or were not used in the BtVS writings.  For me, series 3 is Buffy tryingto come to terms with her first relationship, that hadn't worked out as she had expected.  Because I had never been in that situation, I had never thought I could relate ... Then as I saw Angel break up with her, I realised that I did relate to that.

Angel's excuse was that he wanted Buffy to have a "normal" life.

But, she isn't normal - she is "one girl born to save the world" ... now, I'm not that special ... but there again, I'm not like any one else.  No, I'm not special, now weird .... I'm normal.

No one is like anyone else.

We are all special, we are all unique.

So, when I mumble about "why me?" ... it's because I am "me" .... My life is different from yours, not just in the obvious facts, but because we are all different.

Angel, himself, was not normal, he knew that, but forgot that Buffy was also a unique person.  He missed out, and so I hope that I learn that lesson, and don't miss out on things, because I feel I am not doing something that my friends are doing.

I am special - I am unique ... So are you.

We are all NORMAL.
