Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

Oh, they could have drones... Now there's a show I wouldn't want to miss.

[Southern Red]

Then there's Caldwell trying to one-up everyone with a show launched from the Daedalus, with the 302 squadron trailing sparklers...



Yep! She and Lorne team up with dueling shoulder-held rocket launchers.

In the meantime, Teyla and Ronon are just standing their shaking their heads at yet another example of How The Earth Humans Are CRAZY.

Speaking of 302s, we could hear the planes from the Salute to America fly over on the 4th but couldn't see them because of tree cover. A friend who lives a few miles south of us saw them fly over his housing development. So neat.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Pretty Friday!

Tight formation fireworks! Now we're talking!

Sweet! That must've been awesome to see.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Sparky!Family Saturday!

[Falcon Horus]

On the 11th of July 1302 the Flemish militia men (merchants, farmers, commoners) kicked some French knights' butts in the battle known as the Battle of the Golden Spurs.

Meaning, if today hadn't been a Saturday, I would have had the day off.

However, it also brings out the Flemish nationalists with their Lion-flags -- the wrong one, I might add.

The flag of Flanders shows a black lion with red claws and tongue on a yellow background - the coat of arms of Flanders.

The nationalists took that flag and altered the design of the lion, entirely black, on a bright yellow background. And it's not funny finding that particular flag in my downstairs neighbors' window today.

I knew he's an active member of the N-VA, the Flemish center-right nationalist party, but I had no idea he was leaning so far right that he decided to display the black lion of the much further right racist party, and thought that a good idea. I mean, we have an Egyptian family living in the building, and they are good people. That must make them feel so welcome... ...not.

Blah... I wanted to counter his flag with the real one but I don't have that.

[Scary Kitty]

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Lazy Sunday!

FH...gah, that's not a pleasant thing. But perhaps consider it a reminder to get yourself the real flag. That way you'll have it for next year to fly at your new house.

Yup, planning on doing so.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Canon Monday!

[Falcon Horus]

It was a no-work day...

[Scary Kitty]

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Smutty Tuesday!

It was a no-work day...

It's always a good day when that happens!

[Falcon Horus]

It's always a good day when that happens!

I even managed to give myself three extended weekends in a row this month. Although next week already was an extended weekend because of July 21st, our independance day.

And then I have 5 full weeks of work ahead of me, and then I have 3 weeks off -- in theory those will be spend on vacation but as you may know, there's currently a virus about that may or may not interfere with that. It'll determine, at least, where that vacation will happen -- in one of the surrounding countries (The Netherlands/France/Germany) or a little bit further away (Spain/Portugal)

Wow! Now that's what I call creative planning! Enjoy your time off, no matter where vacay is!

[Falcon Horus]

Meh... this happened... (don't mind the mistakes, I just wrote this at work while I was supposed to be working, like Elizabeth)

Spoiler:

Elizabeth stretched as far as her office chair would allow her to go, feeling her back ache in protest. She leaned forward and mumbled to herself about growing old and aches she didn't need. She returned her gaze back to the tablet screen in front of her, the you-have-unopened-mail icon in her taskbar popping up. She moved her finger down from the ace of spades she just moved in her game of solitaire and hit ignore on the new mail.

"Go away!", she grumbled.

"Okay, I'll come back later then."

Elizabeth looked up, finding John's retreating backside hurrying back out of her office.

"No," she called out. "Sorry, not you."

John turned and made his way back to her desk, sitting down on the edge.

"Well then," he started. "How about some lunch?"

"Lunch?", Elizabeth echoed.

"Yes, lunch."

John pointed down at his watch, indicating what time it was. Lunch time.

"Kate and Teyla have already gone ahead."

It slowly started to dawn on Elizabeth that she was supposed to remember something. John continued to look at her, his head tilted just a little to the side, watching her work out what it was she was supposed to be doing right now.

"Oh..."

There it was.

"...lunch...with Kate and Teyla."

"Celebrating their 6-month anniversary," John added helpfully.

"Right."

Elizabeth closed down her game, continued to ignore the blinking mail icon and graciously accepted John's arm.

"To lunch!"

[Zandra's Ashes]

Surgery day is tomorrow. Bleh. Could be outpatient, could be overnight, but either way, should be home rather quickly.

I hope you manage to sneak away. So many possibilities...

Not meh- it was good! I was disappointed because I wanted to read more. Will there be more (hint)? lol. Thanks for sharing!

[Scary Kitty]

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Fluffy Thursday!

Surgery day is tomorrow. Bleh. Could be outpatient, could be overnight, but either way, should be home rather quickly.

*hugs you* Good luck tomorrow, hope everything goes well!
