So, I'm getting the Simon R. Green pages done (at least the structure for them, anyway...) I first came across his books when I bought Deathstalker from an independent bookshop some years ago. Loved the series - it's sort of what you would get if you crossed Star Wars with Marvel/DC. The books are quite long and there are two series of them and a prequel omnibus. I've always wanted to see them made into movies.

The bookshop I bought them from no longer exists, unfortunately, which saddens me quite a lot because I saw it grow from a one room shop and expand into the buildings behind it. It was the best independent shop I've known for its diversity of books and my home town is poorer because it's no longer here.

Some shops know how to charge for a pair of socks...

I finally tracked down a site which I ordered some Celtic art from a few years ago. (I forgot what the site was called.) Glad I found it because it sells art of one of my favourite artists.

What's the site?

bright-eyes 3 years ago

It's called the Quirky Celts and is a UK site. Not sure what the postage would be like to overseas, though. It's usually expensive.

You might find this useful, though. It has links to some US shops. (I've been getting Lisa Parker's merchandise for years) https://www.lisaparkershop.com/usa.html

Spiral still makes the best gothic/pagan t-shirts.

There are a lot of projects in magazines which I want to do, but getting hold of the materials is proving problematic this year. So it will probably be a summer of Mill Hill projects (if I can find a way of keeping the papers and beads safe from Max - he is a chewer.)

I remember one online cross stitch company that people tried to turn into a replacement for one which doesn't exist anymore end up becoming one of my least favourites, both in terms of the stock they carry and in how rude they are to customers by ignoring questions they ask about if they are restocking, etc...

I've found Hawkins Hobbies and Create Nostalgia to have the best range of them. Other sites don't have a good range or are always out of stock.

I found another UK seller of Mill Hill kits....(Yay!) They are about the only cross stitch kits I buy now.

A couple of weeks ago I felt like I was getting better with things, but because I was messed around by the gp, a supermarket and the weather has become cold again, I feel like crap.

Disney is like badly formulated fan fic in comparison.

The more I learn about Disney Star Wars canon, the more I realise that Legends, despite its flaws, is the superior canon, and therefore, the ONLY true canon there is.

They say that it is spring. Why, then, is it freezing, hail-stoning and had snow yesterday morning?

I learnt a long while ago that in rp, it's better to play your favourite characters (if you can) than to expect to be able to interact with another person's version of it. Depending on how the other person treats people in rp, you can be very disappointed if you don't.

Wish I could get rid of the rp anxiety I got from twitter. It's not the same place, these are different people. Completely different rp format, but it's still there.

Good luck reclaiming what you love. You’ll get there, with time.

I hope it goes well. I have tried forums in the past, but they weren't very active - one was old, and although most of the members were still there, I think they'd been doing it so long that they had done all the ideas they had or were busy doing other things. Didn't help that the owner was trying to set up another forum in a different fandom so it seemed abandoned. The second one was new, but the owner was trying to

do too many things at once and didn't have staff helping on the forum. It's a bad idea that, because it's a lot of work and you get burned out. This one seems to be quite active and there are enough people on there to have a good group, so hopefully it will work out. Wish there was less emphasis on discord, though and more ooc interaction on the forum.

There are times when I think the more I clean stuff, the dirtier it gets.

Re reviewing books: You make a good point. I don’t bother just trying to review new books. There are too many books to read over a long period so I just read whatever I feel like. Then if anyone else is interested, that’s great

I'd rather people read what they enjoy, rather than feel like they are forced to read or because it's seen as popular.

Tomorrow, I'll be going into town for the first time since Misty died last August. Wish we still had her.
