Stuff w/ Fic

[quinara]

The weather has resolved from scorching into a rather perfect (if elusive) British summertime, where it isn't so hot you feel uncomfortable just sitting in a room without air conditioning, but you can wear a t-shirt and jeans and have the windows open and just generally enjoy a light breeze the whole time. Well done, weather.

In less good news, my monitor decided it didn't want to receive an HDMI signal anymore, so I'm currently on my telly (which is a bit rubbish at rendering text and far too bright), until HP send me a replacement next week. Although I'm not sure that's not going to fail in three months time either, but I live in hope.

In other news entirely, I wrote some fic for the first time in ages. After a run-in at a nightclub, Buffy laments getting old...

Running Up that Hill.

Oh, and I seem to be getting into coconut water?

Cute story! Buffy will eventually come to see the beauty in sensible shoes and not bothering to dye her hair, though, I'm sure.

Coconut water is a big thing here. Coconut milk, too, in place of regular milk. Puts me in mind of "Gilligan's Island" sometimes.

Thanks! Although I think it might be a few more years before Buffy goes that far...

Interesting, about coconut milk. I'd use it in curries, but although I would try it in a cup of tea, I can't see it working exactly... Isn't it generally thicker than milk? I do like coconutty things.

Thicker and more oily. If can work quite well in coffee. In fact, I use it to make a cold coffee drink. I use about 1/2 coffee and 1/2 coconut milk; I add a little coconut syrup to perk up the coconut flavor.
