I should be so lucky...

I'm home!
Had a nice few days down in London with Mr Bluespirit, only slightly marred by the upset tummy that I've had on & off for two weeks & can't seem to shake.
We managed to get tickets to see the Kylie exhibition at the V&A. I was so glad as Mr B loves Kylie & he really enjoyed it - so did I. It was a really interesting & well put together exhibition & the clothes were so fabulous, especially the 'Showgirl' ones with all the crystals & feathered head dresses. Though I did get the feeling that I could pick Kylie up & put her in my pocket - wow but she must be tiny! The famous gold hotpants (supposedly bought for 50p!) were there & were minute. *g*
Mr B, being a total fanboy *g*, bought a big glossy book that accompanies the show & a few other bits... & I got a pair of pink 'Kylie' shoelaces! LOL

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day. We had a wonderful meal at a little Italian round the corner from Covent Garden & Mr B bought me a beautiful Paua bracelet to go with some other Paua jewellery I have. ♥

Anyway, as nice as the break was, it was lovely to come home to Rascal. ♥

Oh, I started writing a little McShep fic on the train - I want to try & finish it this week. Though, I think I may need reading glasses. I keep getting a headache - even if I'm only on the PC for a few minutes. Must get my eyes tested as I haven't bothered since I had the laser surgery. I think I'll have to limit my PC time until then. :-( Maybe I'll just see if I can get a check up tomorrow!

Dude, sounds like you had fun despite feeling a little under the weather.
*hugs*
It's been dead quiet without you.

Glad to have you back.
*squishes*

(...and yay!! McShep fic!)

It's good to be home. :-)

Yeah, I got so far with the fic but found myself slightly inhibited trying to write NC-17 on the train. Weird, it's never stopped me before! ;-)

What was going on at Peg2? It seems that everyone who went to that (including DH himself) got sick soon after. *sends soothing vibes to Bluespirit's tummy*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Heh - never thought of that.
I'd like to say I must have picked up the tummy bug from all that snogging DH & I did but... I actually didn't get within 30 feet of the gorgeous man! *g*

Awww we all missed you! *group hugs* I'm glad you had a good time and sorry about your eyes.

(What's it like to have laser surgery?)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
I had laser surgery about five years ago. The procedure was quick & fairly easy though I did have a bad reaction & was in some severe pain for a couple of days afterwards. However it was so worth it - I was quite short sighted & always wore contacts or glasses & it's so lovely to be free of them now. I'm just hoping my headaches are due to me needing glasses for reading - something that the surgery can't prevent unfortunately (oh, old age comes to us all! *g*)

Glad you had fun and I hope your tummy feels better soon. *hugs*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
I think it's getting there slowly. :-)

Glad you had a lovely time in London! That's a bit of a worry about your eyes though. Better go see the doc/opthmalmologist or whover is the appropriate person!

Glad to hear you're writing and give Rasc a hug for me!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
I didn't manage to get to the optician today but am hopefully going on Tuesday.

Rask send snuffles & snuggles back! ♥

Sounds like you had a great time. It's nice to be able to get away like that for a couple of days. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was a good break - thank you. :-)

Welcome back! *waves*

Kylie rules in our drawing office - it seems there aren't any staff who don't (ahem) "appreciate" Kylie!!! I put an Orlando calendar up in the kitchen to counteract!!

Anyway, glad to read you both enjoyed the exhibition - and that it was a worthwhile event - and your Valentine's day (is Paua the 'seashell' sort of pink/blue colour? Or am I confusing it with something else? If so, I bet the bracelet is gorgeous!).

Hope you'll be feeling better very soon.

*hugs*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Well, who can complain about a nice Orli calendar, eh? ♥

Yeah, Paua is a shell (I think - it looks shell-like to me! *g*) - it comes in various combinations of green/blue/purple/pink & is so beautiful. I have quite a bit of New Zealand jewellery & this is a favourite material.

I'm glad you had such a great time in London. It sounds like it was fun. I keep thinking about laser surgery but I'm too much of a chicken I think.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

The surgery was a bit daunting but I can honestly say that I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. I'd go through it all again, honestly.
