HAPPY CHRISTMAS & Beta Request

[badly_knitted]

 
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my F-List! This has been a tough year for all of us, but we're still here, and I want to send you all virtual hugs. *squishes*

Sorry I didn't send out cards this year, I've been having my own difficulties recently, been without much in the way of heat for the last month, but I'm keeping my spirits up as best I can. I know I'm still better off than a lot of people, and part of that is having so many lovely friends all around the world. I appreciate all of you more than I can express.

I hope you're all enjoying the festive season, even if you can't be with your loved ones they're still in your hearts. Don't let this year beat you down. It will get better!

P.S. Can anyone do a quick beta for me on a couple of fics for torchwood_fest?

If no-one else with greater Torchwood knowledge offers, I could do it tomorrow, depending on how long they are.

I think I've found someone, but I'll keep you in mind in case it falls through. It's just a check for typos or obvious errors that I need anyway, no fandom knowledge required. Thank you.

*huggggggggg* You've summed up, in a nutshell, how Mom and I feel. We're lucky that we live together. With all the people who can't be with their loved ones, or have lost them to the virus this year, we know how lucky we are to have each other and the twins. And thank the stars the Internet exists, helping to keep the rest of us in touch, anywhere on Earth. 💟

Merry Christmas! I hope you get heat again soon.

*Hugs back* Exactly! The internet is my main contact with the outside world, it makes such a huge difference to people these days, a safe way to see and talk to each other.

Hope you and your mum, and the boys, had a really great Christmas!

Thanks. Heat would definitely be top of my Christmas wish list! Dropping below freezing again tonight.

happy holidays to you

Thank you! I'm cold but trying to keep my spirits up. Hoping I can get the heating issues sorted early in the New Year.

[cornerofmadness]

good luck with the heat

[badly_knitted]

Thanks, I need all the luck I can get!

[cornerofmadness]

nothing like no heat in the winter, been there many times

[badly_knitted]

So have I, ten years ago after pipes burst and the heating packed up within days of each other. Spent three months sleeping on the living room floor, the house damp and cold... It was tough but I was younger then. It's only been a month, but that's a month too long.

[cornerofmadness]

that definitely sucks

[badly_knitted]

The worst part was trying to keep my 80 year old mum warm. I'm really starting to hate years that end in a zero! They're jinxed...

[cornerofmadness]

Now that I think about it a year that ended in zero ended up with me losing my career as a surgeon thanks to an injury. You might be on to something

[badly_knitted]

And my mum suffered a heart attack in 2000... I can't remember back as far as 1990.

[cornerofmadness]

that's awful. 1990 I was in medical school losing my mind

[badly_knitted]

Perhaps we should all skip 2030 and go straight to '31...

[cornerofmadness]

that gets my vote

[badly_knitted]

I'll make a note in my diary *grins*
