laylee at 10:21pm on 05/04/2010 under fanfiction, fic rec, jack/ianto, mum, old home town, real life, sports night, torchwood- Happy Easter everyone! I have been somewhat incommunicado since last Thursday so I hope you've all had a wonderful break no matter what you celebrate.
- Last Friday I attended my first ever rodeo in Great Western, a little 'blink and you'll miss it' town in western Victoria. We drove out Friday morning, spent the day at the rodeo and then camped over night. I haven't seen that many Akubra hats and R.M. Williams boots since the last time I watched The Man From Snowy River. Plus, there's a reason why I don't go camping. I don't care how comfortable the air mattress is, it will never make up for room service and an en-suite bathroom.
- Easter Sunday was spent at my sister's house in the company of small children and several sisters-in-law. We ate large amounts of yummy food, drank a reasonable amount of good wine and ate many Easter eggs. All in all it was a wonderful day.
- I still more day off and was supposed to go back to work on Wednesday, however mum's eldest brother passed away last week and now I have to drive her to Horsham on Wednesday for the funeral. He was 96 so his passing was not a surprise, but it does make me wonder just how much longer mum will be around.
- Speaking of mum, we've finally persuaded her the maybe she shouldn't be driving anymore. Her eyesight is okay, but her ability to react to emergency situations is completely shot and what with her having a heart condition that could cause a heart attack at any time, it was perhaps time for her to hand over the car keys. She's not happy about it, but it was either that or she kill herself and the unlucky motorist who happens to be in her way when she has a funny turn while she's driving to the shops one day.
- I have completely missed the latest episode of Supernatural and the first episode of the new Doctor Who. But don't worry about spoiling me cos I'll do that on my own anyway :~)

mojokid found this great Sports Night article that no one has seen before. Great photo of Peter, Felicity and Josh and the article its self, although short, is really rather wonderful.- I've just finished reading this fantastic Torchwood fic and I would urge you all to go and read it NOW! Your Face is Turned by sam_storyteller, Jack/Ianto (in a round about way) rated R for really, really excellent!
- It's Tuesday tomorrow and I have to take my elderly mother bra shopping in the morning. Oh joy!

I was lucky enough that my mother decided to stop driving on her own - maybe she could have gone on for a little longer, but at least I don't have to worry about having the talk with her that I was dreading. She's lucky enough to have a group of friends who are willing to drive her around, but I'm trying to do my fair share of driving as well. (I haven't taken her bra shopping yet, though. But I suppose that'll happen eventually.)
