The Lounge!!

[prettyserpentine]

Ah, builder's tea! Nothing like it on a raw day, when Morpheus has been AWOL again.

I was going to watch the Boat Race or the Grand National, but if you'd rather keep the noise down I could just put some Bach on the wind-up gramophone?

How is the scarf looking?

Oh it's finished. I'm just about to head into town to get myself a new crochet hook and have a look for some 'Cheer Up Serpentine' wool. And maybe get a nice chai tea afterwards. Then I think I shall curl up in my inner sanctum with a good book and some chocolates.

 

[DesEsseintes]

That sounds idyllic. Happy shopping/reading/eating! And well done on finishing the scarf - I've never knitted so much as a baby sock.

 

[prettyserpentine]

Two balls of wool, three new crochet hooks and a pair of new bamboo knitting needles later, I have returned!! I am excited to start my next project. I might marathon a brand new TV series while I do so. Hmmmm....

 

[StarryEyed665]

Oh well done, prettyserpentine! I'm happy for you! It's just the best feeling when you finally finish a project. After spending ages rectifying my recent fuck-ups for this Gryffindor scarf, I am about three pattern repeats away from finishing! My first project on DPNs, yaaay (it's been such a bitch)! What do you think your next project will be?

Des, well done on nearly completing your novel! Also happy for you! <3

Brit, hello fellow Camper! Glad it's going well, it's my first time too (not going as well so far, blaming it on my sickness, hopefully I'll catch up soon)! :') You done other WriMos before? Also hoping I can contribute to your April Challenge ^^

I've just finished work, having tea now amd watching the Grand National.

HOORAY FOR HAPPINESS

 

[DesEsseintes]

Hooray for Ms. Starry-Eyed for almost completing her scarf.

Unhurray for my carefully chosen each way nag who, having led for most of the National, decided to be pipped into fifth (and therefore just out of the places) within ten yards of the finish line, stumbling over like a vicar with piles.

 

[StarryEyed665]

Urgghhhh it's like half four am what have I been doing *collapses in the middle of the room* Just leave me here when you come in.

 

[Raven_Timothy]

Slips in to the lounge. Producing blankets and pillows for all the fallen loungers. Dims the lights. And then passes our coco, coffee, and tea to any still up before slipping back out.

 

[The_gladiator]

Pokes his head in, "Did someone kill this thread?"

 

[thestruggle]

tries to creep in stealthily but chokes on accumulated dust instead.

Apparently procrastination means you find old, forgotten places to sneak around in.

ties back her hair in the messiest topknot ever and starts searching for cleaning supplies.

 

[Erlind]

I start pushing a nice wood handled push broom across the room, whistling half forgotten tunes.

 

[The_gladiator]

He also chokes on dust, "Wow this is a place I've not seen in some time."

 

[thestruggle]

topples out of an old and creaking cupboard, clutching a handful of dust rags and various cleansers.

Oh! Hi! Yeah, it's been a long time. But I thought it was worth dusting off.

as if to illustrate, she handily polishes up a shelf and valiantly manages not to sneeze.

How's everyone's December going?

 

[IvoryTigress]

Falls face first onto a couch..

 

[thestruggle]

runs around with kisses and beverages for peekers and fallers, hopefully dust free.

 

[Fish_Tales]

Crikey - an oldie, but a goodie

 

[Erlind]

I pour myself a mug of coffee and kick my feet up before looking around to see if anyone is about.

 

[thestruggle]

Crikey - an oldie, but a goodie

flops into a chair after her clean-up efforts are finally finished.

That's what I thought! Feels kind of nice, actually.

 

[Erlind]

"Seems like the lounge is a lot quieter than I remember it, or is that just me?"

 

[zydrate]

Ohhh, it's quiet

 

[Erlind]

Weird how places like this change. It makes as much sense as stores losing business or any other social hub dying down, I just never imagined it would happen to this place.

 

[zydrate]

Ehh, I did...all the cliques around here, it was bound to happen...

 

[Erlind]

Cliques happen everywhere though. And maybe it was just because I wasn't too social here, but I didn't notice them that much here.

 

[zydrate]

*shrugs* that and RL happened...is happening... just depends on the person I guess... bless Brit for trying to keep the lounge alive though

 

[Erlind]

I suppose that's true. I still don't really have time, but just been thinking about the lounge lately. And Brit is certainly a lovely lady doing lovely things.

 

[Britwitch]

peeks in with a blush

"I thought my ears were burning. Thanks you two, I just do what I can."

finds a comfy looking armchair to curl up in and enjoy a quiet moment or two before a thoroughly crazy day begins

"And the Lounge is quieter these days but new faces keep passing through and old ones pop up now and again...there's life in the old Lounge yet."

winks and grins
