List of Completed Fics


(over the last 12 months)

To quote from last year, "Thanks to continuing work on the Swedish story, I haven't completed much this year, and what I have done has been [almost] entirely one-shots"! An introduction I hope not to have to repeat for yet another year, or at least not for the same reason.Read more... )

I ran out of fruit (and the last of the apples turned out to be rotten round the stem, which I've never seen before) so I did an emergency visit to the supermarket. After a lot of shelf-edge agonising -- an option I don't get with the greengrocer, who simply tells you what's currently in season without telling you where it came from! -- I ended up buying a plastic box of grapes because they were marked down from £2·10 to 54p on account of date-expiring (fine, so long as you eat the ones that are going brown at the bottom first!, which I always end up doing with grapes anyway), and added in some Spanish pak choi because it was marked down to 60p for a similar reason, although quite frankly that one looked absolutely fine whereas the grapes were visibly substandard. That was a reasoned decision, although one that always makes me feel a bit guilty because the stuff is still being flown in from abroad.

It wasn't until I got home that I noticed the full-price bunch of beetroot I'd bought was also from Spain -- I really didn't expect root vegetables to be imported...
