Ianto icons.

*sigh* I may have got a bit carried away. And I'm not fussed if they aren't that good, but I'm using them elsewhere, so hey. (I'm running through every "Someone give Ianto a hug/Give Ianto a hug" icon I've got, then finishing up with my nice, requested, "FINALLY someone gave Ianto a hug" one. Any donations to the cause are much appreciated. ;) )

Well now.

( Icons, thisaway! )

Stuffly.

Well, went to Glasgow to visit Retsi for her birthday. Had a good time, in general. Unfortunately she has two pet cats, though, so every waking minute spent in the house was torture, because I'm allergic and slowly stopped breathing the longer I was surrounded by fur. On the first night she tried to keep the cat out of her bedroom where I was sleeping on the floor, but the cat managed to pop the door open, run back in, and curl up to sleep on her bed. Which resulted in me sleeping for about an hour somewhere around 3 am, and spending the rest of the night wheezing and turning over and trying to force my throat to open up a little, because air is a good thing.

On the second night her mum shut the cats in the kitchen. Oh, bliss. Breathing and sleeping at the same time. Heaven, thou art made of oxygen.

Otherwise we went shopping round Glasgow, and she took me to all these cool shops... Including the Forbidden Planet. Where I got a third Torchwood poster. With everybody on. Made my day week month. Lovely, lovely. And I got a GIGANTIC mind warp poster, too. Decorating my room at LJMU is going to be so easy. ;)

Had a really nice meal out, then ran to the train station so she could take me to a gay bar and get IDed (she was enjoying being able to produce legal ID at a moment's notice, and was rather put out when they didn't bother to check her). It was a very nice gay bar, too. More like a mansion thrown open for a party (chaise longue, anyone? Settee? Roaring fires and high ceilings and vast mirrors and oh the pretty? :D) Quite liked the place, actually, despite the fact that people kept mistaking me for her girlfriend.

Oh, and I drank tap water all the time. Annoyed her a little, but it was good for keeping down the cat fur and was free.

And the fact that I made it back home with precisely 42p left in my purse probably made that a wise decision.

Most of my money went on transport. Buses and trains and taxis, oh my.

But yeah. It was quite good, enjoyed seeing her, she seemed pleased to see me, and the cats decided this morning that they loved me and wanted to show their affection by chirping at me and snuggling somewhat. Which, you know, would be great if I could actually touch them without scratching, sneezing and asphyxiating. They're still cute, though.

( Anyway, here's another meme thing. From two people, though I'm only technically tagged by one. )
