“Where is it?” Ryan sounded calm, surprising after a 30 minute detour around the outskirts of Birmingham in the middle of the night.

“Sorry about the sat nav,” Connor muttered.

“That’s fine, we didn’t need it, mate,” Finn said.

If looks could have killed, he would have been carted off in Santa’s sleigh.

Stephen looked up, hoping he wouldn’t see one in the sky. The day had been bad enough, without that.

“In there.” Cutter pointed at upper window of the Georgian house.

The lights sparkled brightly against the dark window.

“Christmas lights,” Claudia said briskly. “I’ll let James know.”

I don't think those are Christmas lights...
Well done!! And nowhere near my 11.59 record! :D

[fredbassett]

LOL, thank you!

Without the reminder I would have come home and gone to bed and then been very pissed off tomorrow morning about breaking my streak. Funny how in the middle of the country going to hell in a handcart that it's the 'small' things that matter a lot!

Thank you!!!

Just realised there is a small typo in the Subject line

[fredbassett]

Thanks! Sorted - I think....

[fredbassett]

I have just posted this week's drabble! Be proud of me!!!

My kid of Christmas lights. As long as it's locked. lol

[fredbassett]

Mine too!!! Thanks :)

Love the way Stephen considers Santa to be a real possibility!

[fredbassett]

Thank you! It's Xmas, anything's possible. *g*

[goldarrow]

LOL Nice one!

Considering what the anomalies have spit out over the years, I'm not surprised that Stephen kept a weather eye out for Santa!

And dear Finn, he is a genius at making things worse...

[fredbassett]

He's a delight to use in a short drabble! Thanks!

Tee hee! Not convinced about those Christmas lights. And I'm still tittering at the Santa lines!

[fredbassett]

Always beware Xmas lights! Tricksy things.... Thanks!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Are they sure they're Christmas lights. LOL over Stephen looking out for Santa.

[fredbassett]

It's probably an educated guess! *g*

[cordeliadelayne]

Lovely! And well done for getting it in on time :D

[fredbassett]

Thank you! It was a bit of a scramble. It's funny how in the midst of chaos that you learn what's important to you, and I learnt that P100 is important to me and I would have been bloody upset if I'd broken my streak. I even got this weeks in on time so I don't stress and miss it by accident!

Thanks for all you do with the comm and the fandom. It's great that we're still going after so long!

[cordeliadelayne]

Aw, thank you! I do love that people are still so competitive about the challenges *g*

[fredbassett]

You're welcome! The P100 is still very important to me, and in the midst of a world going to ruin, missing this would have made me an extremely sad panda.

[fififolle]

Oh, was this your close call? It's a damn fine drabble, lol!

[fredbassett]

I think so! Thank you!
