It's the best part of forty years since the seventies started. That's odd.

One of the Sunday papers came with a free DVD about Margaret Thatcher, so we had to think of a means to kill it. I slightly wanted to microwave it, but I don't think that's good for the microwave. In the end, my mother defaced it with a pen and my father went at it with the scissors. It'll have to suffice.

Thank you for contributing to the icon poll. Mostly it made me want to keep icons I hadn't even been thinking of keeping, but probably it was useful. I'm thinking of jettisoning my default icon and substituting the 'Most Distressing, Sir' one instead. Then keeping five others. I haven't really the faintest idea which. I might see which ones LJ leaves me with, then properly decide. Also there be four drabbles still up for grabs if you want them. I hope to get started on them some time next week.

I scalded my right hip yesterday, with half a cup of instant hot chocolate. I'm fairly willing to bet you've never done that.

When my icons are running out, I like to let them lapse and see what I have left, just so I know which ones I apparently use most often. It is usually disappointing and I end up buying them back again. Limiting yourself to certain icons is VERY DIFF.

Chopping up even non-evil DVDs is so exciting! Mostly I like the fact that my scissors are capable of cutting up discs, Maybe I should go and buy a paper with a free Thatcher DVD just so I can experience it again.

I was a bit scared when he started with the scissors because I thought the DVD was fairly bound to shatter, but it didn't at all and it looked a bit great and then I was jealous.

I think you've done maths wrong there because everyone knows that the seventies are twenty years ago and the sixties are thirty years ago, that's just how the world rolls.

That's what I was thinking, yes. I've made a TERRIBLE MISTAKE somewhere. That's all it is.
