Southern Germany during Oktober Fest

When the segment of the story you're writing passes muster such that there's no criticism, but eager curiosity about the story itself. Especially when it's a segment that you really felt you were "in the zone with" when you wrote it .... eight years ago ... and barely reworked at all, especially especially when you thought that it might not be that good, and then you're told that it flowed well. That belongs in the Shire, right under the Party Tree, on September 22nd.

To The Shire with: lovely, fluffy, colourful Doctor Who scarves. In fact, scarves in general, but the longer and fluffier the better. It's the comfort blanket grown-ups are allowed to have. I have just got my first new one of the winter and it was so difficult choosing just one from all the lovely scarves I saw (and felt, though the assistants in M&S were looking at me funny

).

Nice substitute librarians at my work practice place who let me and my friend leave two and a half hours earlier than we should have left.

General studies (most pointless lesson on the planet) teachers who decide they really can't be bothered to teach you and give you a sheet and say that so long as you have read it and don't bug anyone else you can have a free!

Oh also, meetings. Sounds odd I know but when they get you out of psychology they feel like bliss
