In two years it will be the 50th anniversary of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and I'm totally nominating it for Yuletide that year.

I feel like I'm going to need a British Britpicker for this Yuletide story, in addition to my regular beta.
Are there salvage yards in England, where you can get wood and metal items from homes that have been destroyed?

Ordered a large fruit basket for the parents for Xmas. They are retired and don't need *stuff* but I wanted to get them something they enjoyed, and they liked the one I got them for their anniversary.
Any other suggestions for gifts that are not *stuff* but would be enjoyed by retirees in FL?

Have accepted reality, that I am not getting dressed today. I can still do laundry and other things. Just not leaving the building.

Saw the post on DW about the default deadline for Yuletide being next Wednesday and EEP I need to work on my story!
So that's what I'm going to do this weekend, among other things.

Hi Friends! Is there a British term for walk-in closet? or are those not a thing, and freestanding wardrobes are used for hanging clothes?
(please expect more of these weird questions, as I am writing something.)
