Mouselet Visits Scotland Yard

The ninth of my 12 Days of Christmas Stories was written for scfrankles

Her prompt was "Unbeknownst to Hopkins, Mouselet accompanies him to Scotland Yard for the day."

I am so pleased she gave me this prompt, because Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a Mouselet story.  For any of my flist who haven't met Mouselet before, Stanley Hopkins bears an uncanny resemblance to John Thornton in the BBC production of "North & South".

Happy New Year

Yes, I do realise this is two days late - but the sentiment is still there, in that I send best wishes to all my flist for 2015.

New Year's Eve was excellent.  I spent it with fangirls, eating stew, playing card games, toasting the new year with champagne and singing along to Queen songs.  It couldn't have been better.

As I said to snailbones I think "Always look on the bright side of life" might end up being my theme tune for this year, if it continues the way it began.  No major catastrophes, but the effect I have on our railways - which I thought I had outrun - has caught up with me again.  The train home 'developed a fault' which led to a long wait in Swindon.  (I still hate that station).  On the bright side I've applied for compensation, so I should end up with at least part of my journey home being for free.

And yesterday I went into work for the first time in nearly a fortnight to discover the internet was down.  So at least I didn't have to read my emails.  And I got done some of what I'd hoped to do - not quite as much, since with no internet I was unable to print, but progress was made.

So, all the best to all of you for 2015.
