I've just had the news that my gay Space Opera short "Whatever the Risk" has been accepted for Queered Dimensions. I'm very happy! It was a nice change to write an adventure, with two men who were just gay - and not a romance.

ETA: I've just had the news that STARbooks have accepted my gay superhero story, too. This has got to be a personal record...

I have the car back,

and they DIDN'T charge me the earth for a change. I think that they were 1. ashamed for their behaviour regarding the second-hand part they put in before and 2. blushy about having had it for nine days when they were able to fix it in one. Or maybe they just did it cheap./cynical.

It's a relief. However, tomorrow will be a busy one as I have to:

1. Sign on

2. Go to library

3. Go to Dad's

4. Take Lili to Vet

5. Go shopping

6. Go to Post office

seeing as how everything is in the opposite direction to everything else, and I live ten miles from anywhere-its going to be fun.

I had a book present this morning. The Vesuvius Club by Mark Gatiss. Thank you Chris Smith - so much! Book presents are the best!

I'm watching a programme called "Britain's Best Dish" and so far the contestants are cooking Caribbean and Turkish dishes. *blinks in confusion*
