sloppy-joe = "a loose fitting pullover, often made from fleecy lined cotton, in Australia (and other countries)"
uggies = ugg boots...I don't think these require any explanation. It's like putting each foot into a nice, warm sheep.

Good Lord, it's spreading!

I just thought it was the people where I live.
Sun. Rain. Snow. Whatever.
I'm the only one out walking.
30 minutes to the supermarket.
25 minutes to the library.
In any weather. While everyone else is driving and whining.

ROFL!

I just got out of bed to make a cup of tea, and shit it is cold 17 degrees in the kitchen. I don't know how I survived as a child living half way up a mountain in Tasmania. Yes I do. We had fireplaces and shut the doors and windows. bloke thinks we will suffocate if all the doors and windows are closed.

I going back to bed to keep reading the 39 steps. I hope I warm up by 5pm to get ready for the gym

hopefully it wil rain and I won't be able to go.

The human race, laid low by it's inability to dress for the weather.

I'm not laid low. I haz a telephone and a list of companies who deliver!

Imagine, trapped in your home by a lethal drizzle. Waiting anxiously for a food delivery that's not coming because the delivery boy forgot his rain slicker and survival suit. Alone, hungry and desperate, unaware of the horror that has infiltrated your home and is creeping up behind you.........................
RISING DAMP!!!
AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Thanks recluse. I'll keep an eye out for the rising damp

recluse · 06-10-2010, 02:20 AM

"Rising Damp" an exciting new horror thriller from the author of "The Warming", "Suburban Nightmare: The Chipmunk Horror" and "The Mildewing"

ROFL!

SHHHHHH!!! Stop giving away my future titles!!!

Speaking of titles, Maisy May's 16th in the Best Sellers sorting option on Smashwords... but hasn't yet made it to the Top 25 Best Sellers list

Am I really bad at Maths, or is that WEIRD?

(I figure they have different time criteria for each - the Top 25 is 'last 90 days' or 'all time', and the sorting option must be something different again... but it's still interesting, no?)

recluse · 06-10-2010, 02:53 AM

Yes it is.
The criteria must be different.

Like this week, maybe.

Shameless self promoter. Congrats!

CALUMNY!!!

If I were a shameless self promoter, I'd've mentioned that DEAD(ish) is the 5th most popular free ebook in the B&N store...

But I'll shut up about me now. Recluse, how are you?

recluse · 06-10-2010, 03:10 AM

Tired but good.
Just trying to keep myself from getting bored.
Sometimes that's worse than anything else.
I've got to keep my mind busy.
Do you read horror or dark fantasy?

SneakySnake · 06-10-2010, 03:11 AM

Come to the gym with me. I am leaving in 4 minutes!

recluse · 06-10-2010, 03:24 AM

Sorry.
Can't.
Send me something frilly and sweaty when you are done, okay?

Occasionally. I prefer light and fluffy, because my workplace tends toward horror and dark fantasy too often

Have you checked out http://flashesinthedark.com/ ?

Know what you mean about keeping busy. *hugs*
