Just once I want to turn on the news and hear this!! It’s cold, rainy, I have a fitting, and even though Sherlock has made me wary of taxis I will be taking one from the station to uni.

Well Paradise it’s been lovely, I can’t even begin to put into words how much I have enjoyed our Tuesdays together. I’m having a hard time trying to come to terms with the fact that we won’t see each other until next year. I graduate in June so if all goes according to plan and I’m able to find a job I will be able to sit down in the fall of 2013 and watch you
and Sherlock.It’s going to be a long wait.I’m going to go cry in the corner now.

It’s been six months since I discovered this fandom and I’ve never been able to bring myself to watch the last episode.
After 30 pages my dissertation draft is finished and because I swear I’m developing carpal tunnel (Dear Lord I’m only 22!) I think I need to take a break from the computer and sewing machine.
I’m going to make a cuppa, get the tissues, and watch the last episode.

Looking through my photos I think Pauline’s corset is on wrong also. It looks like the bust gussets are at her hips.

I have a massive dissertation presentation tomorrow and because I like to always end powerpoints with something that leaves the audience smiling I have decided that my last slide will be of Prince Arthur, 1st Duke of Connaught and Strathearn in fancy dress.
