And The Rest of the Stuff I Like
Feb. 29th, 2016 08:02 pm23. Holmes_Minor. SCFrankles and I have been discussing running a new ACD Holmes comm since before Christmas and now ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
holmes_minor is almost ready to go live. Frankles has done the work and I have helpfully made suggestions. And as of tomorrow there will be a new LJ comm for fanfic and poetry for works of 500 words and less, for all the characters in the ACD Sherlock Holmes ‘verse.
24. Cake. How can I possibly have got this far through without mentioning cake? Victoria Sponge, chocolate cake, Swiss roll, fruit cake, walnut and coffee cake, Battenburg, cherry cake, lemon drizzle cake, carrot cake. To name but a few.
25. Deutschen Welle. I’ve found a new course for learning basic German. Very interactive and visual, so ideal for my learning style. Harry gefangen in der Zeit. http://www.dw.com/de/deutsch-lernen/harry/s-13219
26. Conducting loud music. Verdi’s Dies Irae, Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, the end of Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. The last one while sitting in a traffic queue – although possibly the arm action was a little too obvious, but at least the police car which had been behind me had turned off by that point.
27. The Welsh Rugby Team. World Cup or Six Nations, I’m happily cheering them on. I’m not even Welsh, but where we are Wales feels closer and friendlier than London.
28. The smell of clean sheets dried in the fresh air. I’d have them every day if I had enough bed linen, staff to do the washing, and rather better weather than we have here.
29. Decent cider. Proper draught stuff, not this funny strange berry stuff which comes in bottles. One of the advantages of living in the West Country.
