here it is, I adore it! and I do love my curated ear: two plain silver studs, one engraved wild bird stud from a silversmith at Folk by the Oak, a cluster of silver gems in the low helix which I'm gonna replace with a leaf design at some point, and the rook in due course will be a silver hoop.

Beautiful, lush, perfect family wedding tonight, worth coming all the way to Toowoomba for.

Beautiful, lush, perfect family wedding tonight, worth coming all the way to Toowoomba for.
Toowoomba, the small country Queensland town I am in, has a railway station built in 1867 that has not changed in any respect since, and feels ghostly with its two services a week (this is mid-morning on a weekday in September).

I wrote another fic, it's a big swoony romance! I actually wrote it to amuse myself in the Lakes this year, and what a good choice that turned out to be. Shetland, m/m, dreamy magical realism. archiveofourown.org/works/90534201

I wrote another Shetland fic, at the behest of beloved @llincathryn.bsky.social and @twistedsoup.bsky.social! I'm so pleased I was able to write this one, friends, and I think it's good. One you can read without the canon, also. archiveofourown.org/works/88933421

I went swimming in Middle Dock at Canary Wharf with C today and it was great! Lovely long pool set in the dock itself but w/ nicer water, underneath the sprawl of buildings, and today at least the unheated water temp was 19.5 deg. (Big, hopeful, lonesome sign: WETSUITS FREE ALL JULY)

I wrote a fanfic, which for me right now is a big deal as I'm not writing much at all! for BBC Shetland, in honour of the week I spent on Shetland in May.
