A useful life-skill for the future: the ability to tell the difference between a really bad cold that I can't seem to shake and walking pneumonia, just sayin'.
Although, now that I have reached an age where my immune system no longer considers "I don't need a coat, I find the cold bracing" an acceptable answer I have been shopping for a proper winter wardrobe, comprised mainly of enough jumpers to solve an entire winter's worth of Danish crime and a proper warm winter coat. It is a wonderful coat, it is blue with orange elbow patches, I look like a colourblind geography teacher, which, frankly, is a look I have been trying to perfect for some time.
Aside from the cold, I know it is autumn now because our tickets for the rugby autumn internationals arrived in the post. Although I do think calling November 19th autumn is optimism of the highest order. We are going to see South Africabeat thrash humiliate play Scotland, mostly because the other game this year is Scotland - New Zealand, and once you've seen one forty - nil drubbing by the All Blacks (and I've seen two) you've seen them all.
To disguise the fact that I have nothing of interest to say, and also because they are excellent, I shall leave you with a couple of fic recs.

A pirate, a knight, a princess, an assassin, and a maiden fair walk into a tavern.
I am kind of in awe of anyone who can write "five women of Westeros walk into a tavern" and make it both canon compliant and awesome.

This was one of those "the pairing I didn't even know I wanted!" fics. Anyway, it contains two of my favourite things in OUaT fics, Regina on a path that's something like redemption, and Ruby dealing with her wolf-y side, with femslash.
