Sock Advent Calendar - 17th December + win a pair of Christmas socks!



Well, it seems I'm about as useful at posting a sock Advent calendar as I am at opening my Swizzels Advent Calendar, but never mind. It gives me a chance to share my love of Christmas socks, intimately, with at least one other person.

 You'll notice from the 11th to 16th I got in a bit of a mess and now I don't know which socks go with which day. Oh, no! :o

 OK, I do, because I'm a bit...unique that way.

 If you'd like to win a pair of (new) Christmas socks, all you have to do is figure out which socks I wore on which days, and I will send you your very own pair! Hurrah!

 Here are the socks in question:


In case the images aren't clear, from left to right, the socks are decorated with:
  • Robins
  • Reindeer
  • Santa
  • Pugs
  • Penguins
  • Holly
Lastly, and most importantly of all... you might have noticed that on the 9th, I wore two different socks - or so it appears. I didn't (although I did on the 3rd because the first pair got wet).

 The 9th of December is the birthday of the lovely friend who bought me my very first pair of Christmas socks (back in 1989) and started me off on this whole crazy Christmas sock extravaganza.

 The socks on the right, in all their 80s fluorescence, are the ones she bought me...

...and the ones on the left are those I wore in memory of her, because she was a huge fan of Snoopy (like me).

 OK.
Sock it to me. ;)

 Thanks for reading...now shoe!

      You got 3 out of 6, which is pretty bloody awesome too!

      No limits on number of guesses, by the way.

In honor of LGBT Pride month, I am among a great group of panelists who will be hosting a month long discussion about Pride, LGBT Youth, Allies, and more. Our panelists are a diverse group of readers, writers, and supporters of gay fiction, including Larry Benjamin , Rick Bettencourt , Brandilyn Carpenter , Rob Colton , Andrew Q Gordon , Lane Hayes , Debbie McGowan , and Brandon Shire .

Ironing, lie-ins, Zion

It's Sunday morning! That's excellent news if dull skies and musty churches are your idea of fun; I did find myself momentarily wishing for rain this morning, as it's also mid-October and the privet needs one last haircut. I won't be going to church either, but that's another story for another day. So there I was sitting in the thinking room, and it came to me that had I ever aspired to be a more domesticated type, I could spend today cooking meals to fill the freezer. Unfortunately I have never been that person and so the freezer is safe. However, it did get me thinking that I might share some recipe ideas with the world. I know it's perhaps not what any previous visitors to this weblog might expect, and I could no doubt produce an acidic and lengthy commentary on a bit of a battle Nige has had with the organisers of PodcastCon UK 2006 over the past couple of weeks. In brief, for the sake of consistency, I will say this: it has been apparent for quite some time...

Reunions - Josh and George: Stating the Obvious #RainbowSnippets #LGBTQ

Image
Brief explanation: This is another snippet from Reunions (Hiding Behind The Couch Season Seven), which continues to grow. And grow. Current word count: 209,000. I’m aiming to stay under the word count of Two by Two (Hiding Behind The Couch Season Seven) …now I’ve passed all the other limits I set at the start. ;) Here’s a little more of Josh and George, this time together. Here’s the snippet: Josh looked him up and down as he got in the car. “Whose clothes are they?” “Mine.” George was thrown by the question and forgot to deliver his customary kiss. He attempted to rectify that, but Josh dodged him. He was still eyeing George’s clothes. “Are they?” “Who else’s would they be?” “Well, Jake’s, or…I don’t know. It just dawned on me you came to work in overalls.” “Under which I wear clothes,” George said like he was stating the obvious, because he was, in fact, stating the obvious. Josh remained perplexed. “What’s up?” * * * * * Rainbow Snippets is a group for L...
