Carpe Dies: Thursday, Saturday & Sunday



Doing a quick catch up on those days I've missed!

Thursday's Child has far to go

Produce something that relocates the characters from their usual hunting grounds to another real life, consider your historical or future AUs.

A past creation, but it fits the bill: A Spooks historical AU The Blast of War


Saturday's Child works hard for a living

Tell us about something you’ve done well.


To go back to Gloucestershire Bundles - my grant application efforts this year have brought in about £31,200.  I've also had two grants for our Brownies (this year and last within 12 moves - I applied earlier this time) of £1,650.


And the child born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, good and gay


Produce something with a twist.

The drabble I wrote for this week's [community profile] drabble_zone challenge: Hide [ACD Sherlock Holmes]

“Watch him carefully,” the man ordered.  “I don’t trust him.  He’s probably hiding something.”

Unconsciously, Dr Watson’s hand felt inside his coat pocket.

“See what I mean.  He’ll have a gun in there.  Get it!”

The man’s partner reached his hand into Watson’s pocket and then withdrew it, yelling in pain.  The distraction was sufficient to allow the doctor to reach into the pocket on the other side of his coat and withdraw his gun, which he calmly levelled at his assailants.

Inside the first pocket, the Ferret chuckled to himself, having taken a sharp bite at the man’s hand.

Oh extremely impressive on the grants, they are so difficult to get! And yay for the drabble!
