nausicaa83: (<sherlock> black and white)
Hello everyone, I'm back! It was a wonderful little holiday, so relaxing and refreshing. And it made me realize four years of hopping around at the gym did put my body back together after the cancer wrecked it completely. I managed to walk for hours in the woods, and my heart and lungs were up to the task, as if I were 16 again! It was a great feeling, indeed. *______* I took a lot of pictures, all of landscapes and clouds and mountains, after the cut you'll see a selection. And today I got three packages in the mail too! \o/


We were in Cortina d'Ampezzo, one of the most beautiful little towns in the Alps. Tati was born and raised there, and her family still owns her childhood home, so it was a lovely nostalgic trip full of reminiscing on her part. *_________*

Waste away tonight/Tonight my heart's on the loose. )


Here are the contents of the first package. Four new tea blends from Adagio Teas (all recipes by Cara McGee, obviously). The rest of the Teen Wolf teas will get here later. I still have to try any of them, as they only arrived a couple of hours ago.


These are what I bought in Cortina, and they're all Made In England. :D It's a beautiful teapot, that I needed so much since I have at least fifty cups but no teapot, and two conserves. There were many types, and they all sounded delicious. I went for Raspberry because of Cabin Pressure, and it's so sweet and delicious. The Rhubarb & Ginger one I chose because it was a taste I'd never tried, and it's amazing! Very delicate, sweet and spiced at the same time. ♥


And last but definitely not least, ReaperSun's Wreck fanbook is finally here! It's so beautiful, the paper is glossy and thick, it's such great quality. *____* And the Once Upon A Time boxset, just in time for the premiere next sunday!

nausicaa83: (<doctor who> eleven)
Obligatory entry for Doctor Who's season finale, as usual spoiler-free, because River is my spirit animal. Five minutes in I thought "this is going to be scary as hell, I shouldn't have watched it just before going to bed". After that, I cried and sniffled and plain out sobbed the whole way through. I shouldn't have watched it just before bed.

What can I say? I didn't like the first episode, but the four episodes after that were great. I was a bit worried about having River back, because as much as I love her I don't really like her recent interactions with the Doctor, but I thought she was brilliant in this episode. She was more her, instead of an appendix, a one-dimensional fangirl, as I fear she was turning to be. And [livejournal.com profile] harriet_yuuko, you must cosplay as her in this episode!

And the Ponds were great. That last scene is going to haunt me and make me start crying in public places for weeks to come, I just know it.
