It looks like Sherlock wearing John's jumper.
Yes, it doesn't take much.
And back to Benedict ON A HORSE.

So I should have enough for everyone, and some stuff left over for extras. Still have to do cover pic on card, and get the cards and envelopes, maybe on Wednesday, so I can spend the coming weekend putting them all together to send out - and before Dec this year, woah.
Snowed yesterday, little bit of snow right now, enough to coat the ground, everything looks picture postcardy, and possibly tomorrow will just look brown. Leaves didn't get raked. Bro coming over today so we can write down what we are having for Thanksgiving, nice it's on a Thursday, so kids, spouse, brother just have Mon-Wed to work and go to school.
I don't like Black Friday, I'd rather not go out with the crowds, trying to find parking etc, I'll probably do some shopping online.
Incidentally, fandom-wise, someone's getting together a Sherlock fanbook on tumblr, initially their idea was to put together a book and allow people to buy it then sell at whatever profit they wanted, but fellow fans shot that idea down, (if you take free contributions, you shouldn't sell for profit, nuff said) so now it's supposedly non-profit. Having been involved in making fanbooks for 3 years with GA, it's a hellish amount of work, particularly for the designer, even if you don't count in production costs that's a lot of time for a designer to put in, and we had to have our book produced overseas, it was too expensive to make here in the states, hell, I couldn't even get a small amount of books at the quality they could make overseas, which is sad, but the state of affairs.

I can't say these were fun to make, the amount of work that went into producing them, but they are fun to view, and a great record of each year.
Light strings work on a circut, which means that power has to go through each bulb to light the next one. Each bulb has a shunt, if the filament in the bulb burns out, power is supposed to bypass the blown out bulb and go to the next one, but these shunts don't always work, and no one wants to sit with a 50-string of lights and replace each bulb until it lights up again.
Saw this at my fave garden center, Light Keeper Pro is a tool that allows you to fix a blown out light string by simply taking out any bulb, placing the empty socket into the tool (which looks like a gun) and clicking a few times, (this makes the shunts activate) the lights come back on, allowing you to see where the blown out bulb is located, so you can replace it. You don't even have to take the lights off the tree. (you can also test fuses and larger sized bulbs with it)
Since I end up throwing/recyling light strings that probably only need a new bulb, I'll probably pay for this tool in one year. This goes to a site, but just google the name and you might find it cheaper.

Really, it's only fair that if one would win for Best Actor (Evening Standard Theatre Awards) they should both win, and it's the first time any actors have shared an award. I was very happy to be able to see Frankenstein (with Ben as Creature) via the National Theatre Live. Alas, my venue did not show Miller's Creature)
the actors possibly had to pretend to be surprised, as Variety inadvertantly leaked the winners list on Friday.
