[Turns out I was right to hold back on my final RA Challenge post – I was sitting at the airport, my flight with British Airways delayed by at least half an hour, when I started this post. The IT mess from last weekend apparently was still causing afterpains… Finished the post 18 hours later.] So here we…
30 days of RA Challenge behind me, I should get to the last post in the series. But a letter to RA? That takes time and much thought, and I don’t want it to be over, yet. So I am postponing it until tomorrow or another day, to keep me entertained on my trip to London.…
The end of the RA Challenge ♡ is getting nearer. This is the penultimate post in the series, and I have almost anticipated today’s question in the last challenge post. #30 – Will Anything Ever Replace RA In Your Admiration? Who can really say what will happen in the future? I often feel as if the fangirling experience…
Summer has arrived in Ireland. Since it is likely that it will only last for about 72 hours, I am foregoing a long Round-up post and make hay while the sun shines – almost literally. (Not really making hay, but enjoying the sunshine.) Besides there has been lots of words in the various RA challenge posts…
In a strange way, the last few days were an example of something that is a possible answer for question #29 of the RA Challenge, i.e. “a moment that made me question whether I would continue fangirling for RA”. However, the fact that I am blogging today is proof of my decision. I have to thank you for your replies and…
Dear all – I am struggling today to find an approach to blogging, to my daily life even, that does justice to the state of the world as it is. I heard of the Manchester atrocity as news broke late on Monday evening, and at the time I was still hoping – against hope –…
Ok, no fnarr-fnarr answers here. I am not talking of physiological incidents. This is serious, people. What do you consider a highlight of a chaRActer arc, story line, even RA’s career? The obvious answer is this: Well, at least in terms of any character/story arc. A happy ending. And quite climactic in many ways. Career-wise I…
You cheeky bugger! 😂 No, seriously. I really like this quote. Just because he’s making light of the burden that a fandom can possibly be. It comes with a certain amount of responsibility. Despite my recent quibbles, I have always thought that RA has been reasonably appreciative of the fact that there are people closely…
Hello dear readers and welcome to a scheduled post. I have been a busy bee during the week and am scheduling the continuation of my daily posts for the next couple of days. While you are reading, I am hiking – wi-fi is half-willing, the apartment block I am staying in has some free wi-fi, so…
Hooray, I am having the first of a string of holidays. I am off this morning on a little trip over to the West of Ireland, accompanying my visitor who has booked us into a holiday flat in the picturesque little town of Westport. Wi-fi willing, I will still be slow to react over the next…
