Things I have learned so far in Edinburgh
Aug. 3rd, 2012 11:06 pm- Baking flapjack counts as LashHours (i.e. time contributed to the collective).
- Lashings gets through a truly alarming quantity of oats. (We've been here since Friday. We've consumed one kilo so far.)
- Writing fic can, under some circumstances, be counted as LashHours.
- Squid Soap is a thing in this world.
- The Edinburgh Red Cross branch does not loan shower chairs, only wheelchairs.
- Kissing the Witch is amazing and you should read it.
- Lentils are not routinely safe for people with serious nut allergies, and carrot-sweet potato-ginger soup is very popular with Lashers, not least because it is Lashings Orange. (Thank you
highfantastical for providing the impetus on this one!) - If you provide Lashings Orange nail varnish, They Will Come.
- It is absolutely hilarious to barrel downhill, and watch people's expressions change from "oh it's a wheelchair" to "HOLY SHIT TAKE COVER", especially because steering is accomplished by invisible-to-onlookers tweaks of how much pressure each finger on each hand is applying to the push rims.
- That one essay I wrote for GCSE English Literature on the subject of morality and justice on the Discworld? Was fannish meta.
