Eternal Refuge

Over the last few months I have been gradually working through my OTPs from some of the shows I watch & re-watch. This month its the turn of Stargate Atlantis ... and despite what some people think, I am a fan of John Sheppard & Elizabeth Weir. In the end I wrote a finale to the show to resolve the fact that they were separated!

These are for round 6 of ships20in20

I did watch the video, and got my inspiration from the lyrics.
Cat 1 - Don't give up on yourseff
Cat 2 - I won't leave till I understand
Cat 3 - Pull me close
Cat 4 - Tell me you need me
Cat 5 - I'll be right there

I am not meant to be working a full week to allow my leg time to heal ... so my Wednesdays are days to do assorted things.

Yesterday I had a frustrating day. First I wanted to go to my large supermarket, which is now too far away to walk to ... so bus. Great ... I got to the bus stop to find a man fuming as it had come on his app that the bus was cancelled. So half hour wait ... I got out my Kindle and settled down. About 10 mins later the man is angry ... the next bus is cancelled. As he said this I saw a bus approaching the opposite bus stop going into the city. One of the things I wanted to get I knew I could pick up there ... so OK, change of plans. When I got there there was a diversion so a longer walk, but fine ... nice and dry. And, so, shopping done, and home.

After lunch I needed to post Nick's parcel and drop off Claire's ... Back to the bus stop to find I had just missed one and had a half hour wait for the next, so decided to walk. Was I aching by the time I got there. Parcel sent, and round to Tim & Claire's ... Tim was working from home as it turned out, so nice to have a 5 minute chat with him, and actually got the feeling back in the leg before the walk home. After the walk I felt really positive again.

That is until the company that I work for rang me to book my training ... most is on-line but some is face to face. I managed to put off booking one of the trainings ... but I don't know how long I can get away with that. So annoying ... one of the courses has to be in a classroom ... I have a choice of venues ... London or Manchester. It took me all my time not to hang up on them at that point!

So after that plans to check in on LJ went out the window ... my book, then an episode of Stargate Atlantis (hence the icon)& my jigsaw called.

In the evening I did see a fascinating documentary on the Aztecs ... and for anyone who has read/heard "Changes" in the Dresden Files it really brought that section of the story more to life.

Now today, I have done some housework and off to work soon. But before that -




28. Have you ever played a kazoo?
No - Tim had one, but I never played it.

29. It's Tom Sellek's birthday - have you ever seen him in anything you've enjoyed?
I don't always automatically recognise the actor's names ... but Three Men and a Baby/Little Lady are a fun watch




Right, that's me up to date

Have a fun day everyone

This set of 10 icons are for a competition over on DW.  One advantage of being off work at the moment!  They are all taken from Stargate Atlantis ... enjoy

That was a hard challenge - finding full body images, which is this month's prompt over on monthlyinspo .

I ended up doing about half from Blakes 7, and about half from Stargate, both SG1 & Atlantis.

This set of icons is made for Monthly Battle #16 of itsabattlefield .  We had a theme of Winter.

I decided I would share "one" of the reasons why I watch Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis. I like the story lines on both, for an assortment of reasons ... but the other (main) reason is that both shows have a gorgeous actor to watch!!
(For those who don't know Stargate Atlantis is the upper set of 6)

This set of icons is from "Your Favourites" over at DW .... with a theme, of favourite nti-Hero.

I chose Scarlett O'Hara, from Gone with the Wind, and Capt Jack Sparrow, from Pirates.






I have 2 sets of icons I made for It's A Battlefield.

The first set was for a theme of "New Show" ... I did half of them from "Unforgotten" and the other half from the latest season (and latest Doctor) of Dr Who



This set has a theme of "Rainbow" .... I did each colour on both Stargate SG1, and Atlantis

I didn't get any cleaning done ... ending up spending time on-line trying to find a solution for a friend of mine who couldn't get to the internet. So, in the end, all I ended up with was a headache.

So, I decided an earlier night would be good, so as soon as I had watched "Sewing Bee" I headed up to bed. Read for a bit, then as I was about to sleep I made the mistake of checking on Instagram ... only to find a live interview had started, and, yes, I made the mistake of listening ... and hour later I was able to switch off the light and get some sleep. The actor being interviewed was John Flanigan ... and as I had just finished this set of icons for a competition over on DW, I really had to listen, didn't I?

This set of icons are from Stargate Atlantis, with a theme of close-up

So I hope to have a fairly relaxed day.

Later I am having a meal with Tim & Claire as they are thanking me for watering their garden while they were away.  So, it will be good to see them.

Before I sign off ...



11. World Population Day - do you live in a highly populated area, or are you in a rural neighbourhood?
I live in a city, but it's actually quite a small one, but a city none the less.



Right, will catch up later x

This set of icons is made for characters20in20 and the theme is Kathryn Janeway, from Star Trek Voyager, as we were celebrating females this month. She, like my second choice Elizabeth Weir (from SGA) were both strong women
