Aww, yeys! S&D had their baby this morning, just before 6am!
I know nothing more than it's a girl and weighed 7lb exactly. Hoping I might be able to get a chance to see her before I fly out Tuesday. Dunno yet. This is good though, she wasn't expected till after I'd left the country so it's nice to know I didn't miss it. *g*

Two chapters more or less first drafted on the fic o'DOOM, so Huzzah for that at least.

The maternal's car is doing something flaky and not properly functional which is making JR ramble on and on and on about oil sumps and something so massive Boo hiss rah, for that. (Not so much for the car but because it's making JR ramble annoyingly).

And me... I'm massively torn between watching North & South and Erskineville Kings. EK is substatially shorter but N&S is costme-angsty-pretty. But EK has such a gloriously dysfunctional Wace. But N&S has cravatte-removal. Or perhaps I'll admit defeat and watch all of them both and not move from in front of the TV for the next 6 hours...

It IS tempting...

I was going to re-watch the beginning of Hood season2 but they're all on the V+ box downstairs and that's now firmly glued to Cbeebies for the Beany. Plus that additionl part about the parentals not going anywhere because of car trouble. Given up on that option therefore, at least until tomorrow. One can't squee freely in the company of others, it just doesn't work that way.

Packed most of my hand luggage now though. And poking around online to try and find the answer to something that's been befuddling me, I think there's the slightest, tiny possibility that my mobile phone actually is tri-band. I know I get international roaming on it cause it worked in Australia I just didn't know if it'd work in the US or not. Hmm, may have to try it and see. Handy if it does, I can maybe txt the maternal when I land.
