So it's been about six weeks since I last posted and I am once again trying to catch up.
I finish and post a fic to AO3 last month so yay me I guess! And then IDK, falling behind.
Holiday in Bude would have been nicer with better weather. Again, along with previous holidays, maybe I should make a photo collage and write more. We got back late Saturday and did dawn vigil Easter Sunday service!

This got a bit longer than anticipated so, cut tags (I hope they work okay, advanced formatting isn't something I do much of these days!):

( Books and TV )
( Dreamwidth Communities )
( Pinterest WTF )
Lots of feelings in general, I guess.

My one shared photo this month is two; one my nephew took on my phone using a filter I didn't know I had. I'm a bull in this photo! We're at the Crooklets Beach Café in Bude. I'm informed that an episode of the TV series "Alex Rider" filmed part of an episode here. The second photo is a shot of the interior.

So after 2 weeks the engineers came to replace the cables to fix the internet. Because the wifi is patchy, often nonexistent on my pc, and sometimes even the hardwired devices are failing to connect. Early mornings are better (maybe before everyone is online) and times it is cooler and we had some hot weather last week.
And...they said they couldn't fix it because they need to lift the slabs of the path leading from road to back of garden and down garden path to the box where it enters the house, to remove/replace the existing cables without leaving the wires exposed and/or a trip hazard. And they can't lift the slabs. That will require a different team of people. So they could not replace the cable.
:gross sobbing:
It's cooler today and while I could not get Teams to load (not unusual even /with/ good internet - we're moving everything at work to Google, Gmail, etc over the next 2 months which might be a blessing) I have been able to do a bit of catching up on reading at Dreamwidth.

Long venting follows below the cut in which I've finally finished watching DvD, I'm wondering if the DvD fandom is dead, I wonder why the BS fandom is so difficult to connect with, and while I find it hard to ponder a life without a fandom in general, I wonder if fandom is done with me.
