Home Again: Stippers, Puppies, and More!

So I'm home from Widnes, where I had a fabulous time with the lovely Leanne and her many, many dogs ^_^ We had ten, count 'em, ten gorgeous puppies to keep entertained. I haven't told Holly yet that I've been staying with other dogs as she is prone to jealousy. I'm sure she'll forgive me in time. I have to say, I freaking love Leanne's dogs. They're all, without fail, beautiful, friendly, happy little darlings, and I miss them all already!

Aside from dog-herding various spaniels and chihuahuas, we also went to a hen night for one of Leanne's friends, which was awesome! I got to wear neon tights and hot pink mascara and drink loads of Apple Corkys and champagne and wine and some other stuff that I don't know what it was but it came in a fishbowl and have a really dignified time. And spend some time in a toilet with a stripper. Apparently Liverpool has unisex toilets now. I didn't know that. (I mean, not in the actual cubicle, we were just in the toilet room as a whole. Should probably clarify that in case my Dad reads this. (Also Dad, I didn't get that drunk. In comparison to some people, I mean.))

Anyway, he was a very nice stripper, and I have some lovely photos of him which I will post at some point, because ... you know, you have to. In summary: neon-themed hen night = much awesomeness.

I got back to Cambridge about 6.30 last night and then had to rush off to my writers' group as SILVER KISS was on the chopping block. I'm relieved to say that the feedback was great - incredibly helpful - and I'm planning to dive back into the novel for a second draft this weekend. And there might be some exciting SILVER KISS-related news around the corner if I'm lucky, so stay tuned for that! 

I got back home again around 9.30 for a catch-up withchaostheory, who was on fish-watch while I was away, and discovered I have an upsidedown catfish in the tank that I thought was dead. So... huzzahs! Ooh, and my mass purchase of BPAL imps arrived, so now I have fifty - fifty! - sparkly new perfumes to try out over the coming weeks and months ^_^ If I run out of blog material, I might do a rundown of my favourites at some point.

So what have you all been up to?
