April was a busy month... In the best possible way, but I barely glanced at Dreamwidth in weeks.

Firstly, then the wedding went very well indeed (I will probably do a separate post, but it was a wonderful day in every way), and we also had my parents staying + more, so the house was very full.

Then at the end of the month Darcy & I went to Athens for a 6 day mini break which was absolutely wonderful.

And now I am slowly trying to get to everyday life... I have caught up with DW, but if I missed something, please leave a comment!

I will do my best to post more. 🤞

Deadline for Point Requests
MAY 14

Request HERE


Signal boost:
During the first week of [community profile] 3weeks4dreamwidth, a Dreamwidth point gifting post was launched by [personal profile] yourlibrarian.
Now that enough people have signed up to donate Dreamwidth shop points to other users, it’s time for giftees to step forward saying that they wish to receive some points.

As someone who’s greatly enjoying the perks of a paid Dreamwidth account and has already renewed the subscription up to 2027, I recommend trying out some of these features through this gift opportunity.

There’s also still time to sign up to donate Dreamwidth points if you so wish.

HERE is the original post where you can ask for gifted points.
Please head over there for any doubt or question.
This post is just a signal boost and I cannot help you as I am NOT involved with the giveaway.

Wendell: They're not insects. They're arachnids.
Xander: They're from the Middle East?

🎾 Jannik Sinner Makes History in Madrid

Sinner first player to win five consecutive ATP Masters 1000 titles

He did it again! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Jannik Sinner has become the first player in series history (since 1990) to win five consecutive ATP Masters 1000 titles. The Italian […] has lifted trophies in Paris, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo and Madrid. The 24-year-old did not drop a set at the three hard-court events, with Tomas Machac eventually ending his record-setting streak at 37 in the Monte-Carlo third round.
[…]
Sinner was the first player to win the ‘Sunshine Double’, trophies in Indian Wells and Miami, without dropping a set. […] The Italian is also the first player in history to win the first four Masters 1000 titles of the season. — source


Next stop: Rome (May 6 — May 17).
That’s the only title at Masters 1000 level that is still missing for Jannik Sinner. Should he accomplish this feat in the coming weeks, he could become just the second man (after Novak Djokovic) to complete the Career Golden Masters.
WE’LL BE ROOTING FOR YOU! ♥

GILES: I'm just a bit twitchy about leaving you alone again here while—while things are in such a state of flux.
BUFFY: I know. But you should go. This trip is important for the girls to understand the source of their power, and to know how to use it right.
GILES: Do you think they appreciate the gravity of what we're undertaking? It's frightening, and it's difficult. And then, apparently, someone told them that the vision quest consists of me driving them to the desert, doing the hokey pokey until a spooky Rasta-mama slayer arrives and speaks to them in riddles.
BUFFY: That's not exactly how I put it.
