Fab, thanks! I’ll look it up!

Stars

If it’s clear tonight I’ll have to look out for them.

I did get some more photos more directly ‘up’ but will have to go out with a star chart to work out what’s where!

Thank you! The stars were really bright, and my new phone is so much better at taking night pictures! This is on a suburban type housing estate so pretty cool to see so many so brightly. To the right it was so misty so that was fascinating too.

I do something similar most of the time! Sometimes I think of one, earlier on but mostly it’s a last minute looking for something within the fic that works 🙈

And then I started reading about how different cultures have different constellations. Wrong time for this silly bouncy brain. Must stop 🥱😴

The night stars taking on a cold misty night 30/10/25 12.40am as taken in north west England.

Tonight I spotted a bright star just as I was starting to get ready for bed. My tired bouncy brain woke up and needed to know what I was seeing.

So much for the earlier night (night owl so still late), but now I know. Procyon in Canis Minor (Orion on the right).

This is the kind of rabbit hole I would fall down, but have now yet. I’m resisting the urge because its bedtime here 🙈😂

5!

It depends! There isn’t a consistent answer. Sometimes I’m inspired by music (and that song will be on repeat), other times an idea strikes on my walk to the car after work (no music). I’ve definitely written/edited with episodes on in the background.

Princess Diana actually outdid Kate Middleton as the queen of recycling – wearing this outfit 12 times Princess Diana wore this outfit the most for her royal engagements, stepping out in this suit for a record 12 times – see the photos

I love the colours!!

And I got curious…Getty images has Diana in this outfit multiple times. According to Hello she did at least 12 appearances in this suit. www.hellomagazine.com/fashion/roya...

I love this storyline 🥺🥹

Dude really knows how to wear a grey T-shirt!

Okay, where are my fellow NCIS Tiva fans? I know you’re out there and I finally got to the season 13 finale and wow. 😲🤯

It’s been circling by brain all day and I want to fill in the gaps. I’m going to skip ahead to the later Ziva eps but give me your fanfic recs for all Tony, Tali and Ziva fics

A little belated but here’s my little fic offering to celebrate Mulder’s birthday.
Or Lucy asking an awkward question because kids at school know her daddy is quite a bit older 🤭 Panic face and Scully explaining that babies don’t always arrive right away feature.

So then I guess the questions are can you afford it and if yes would it make you happy?

What’s the cost for just an autograph, no quote? Is it more affordable?

Friendship is what happens when shared trauma and shared interests converge and I think that’s beautiful.

Tranexamic acid was hands down the best thing I was given as a teen before birth control. Not sure how I’d have got through school without it.

Nature is wild 🤯

Flushing the toilet these days is really two easy. Much more creative to jump in and out of the bath time every time you need to flush. 😂

Amazing that no-one’s tried to change that or update the bathroom!

The schools here say kids can be in as long as they don’t feel unwell (even if they test positive). I was so surprised when my colleague said her kid was back in school the day after testing positive.

Schools are really big on attendance so 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s been a while since I’ve added a new fic but…new X Files oneshot alert!

Just cute family fluff. If you liked Emily, Tigger and Roo, hopefully you’ll enjoy this too.

Mulder and his daughter go to Build a Bear 🥹

Love the colours!

Some speedy devs, thank you!

The e visa system is 😫. We verify share codes as part of my work and the way the government says view/share your immigration status only for them to not actually specify the status 😤🥴 they do say someone can study, work etc but sometimes specifics are needed.

Down from 6.30am Friday to 2.30 am UK time
