In which I am seriously annoyed with myself

[impulsereader]

I know what I did now. I got confused between peels of lemons and I've sent off eight whole lemons with an incorrect url. I remember expecting it to be hunt_the_lemon.livejournal.com because that's the user name, but - because I'm not completely stupid I did check it before beginning the first four lemons and - it's actually hunt-the-lemon.livejournal.com which - somehow - my brain translated to hunt.the.lemon.livejournal.com when I didn't absolutely triple bloody check yet again before starting the second round. grrrrr. So my England and Australia lemons are starting off with a bit of a handicap.

Is this on the lemons coming to me? I can try a manual fix of those, at any rate.

[impulsereader.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you. I'm just terribly annoyed. I had some test lemons still sitting around and if I'd just glanced at one of them my brain might have rebooted properly.

[221b-hound.livejournal.com]

Ah well. IT's annoying, but it's fixable. I have criteria for worry now, based on a woman I worked with who got all flappy-handed at teh least little thing.

If no-one has died, lost a limb or otherwise become permanently incapacitated, it's probably a fixable problem or not important enough to stress over.

That's what I have just done. I am in London at the weekend and hope to do some cross fandom pollination by dropping off lemons at Gower Street North and Bart's. Hopefully someone there will get the lemon thing.

Thank you! At least if we don't get any responses we'll be able to chalk it up to people not being able to figure it out and get to the correct spot. Oh well, I can always send some more before your next trip and we can have another go.

Lemons are going to London! This is so exciting!

If you'll give me a block of numbers, I might find new and inventive ways to mess up the URL.

[impulsereader.livejournal.com]

Why, certainly. You can have as many as you like. I hereby grant 18, 19 & 20 to start you off and if you'd like additional citrus, just let me know. I'm kicking myself because I didn't think to do up my remaining lemons for release while we're out today. We're venturing out to one of our state parks for a bit of a hike. Hm...I supposed I could go to the test lemons. It took me a while to get the hang of the varnish and was unwisely using newspaper when a plastic bag proved to serve better, so I have some that I'm not entirely happy with. *ponders*

[f-m-r-l.livejournal.com]

I hope to have the lemons in circulation today and tomorrow. (Ran low on supplies, but nothing I can't pick up.) I'll email you pictures at the hunt.the.lemon.in.rl address.

[impulsereader.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I'll be on the lookout.

[f-m-r-l.livejournal.com]

May I have a block of 30? I have ambitions. And a lot of stops planned. And a few friends who may find the idea amusing.

[impulsereader.livejournal.com]

Certainly. 41-70 have been logged for your use.

I got your pictures, and they're awesome. I am frankly astonished that science fiction lovers were perplexed by the lemon. Surely they have seen odder things than a stray lemon...

[f-m-r-l.livejournal.com]

Perhaps they need something odder. A recurring lemon. A lemon with tentacles. There are options to try. :-)

And thank you for the compliment on the pictures.

A time travelling lemon!

[f-m-r-l.livejournal.com]

See, now I want to spend time I don't have constructing a little blue box for the lemon.

I'm afraid I had the traveling-lemon URL on my first two lemons (18 & 19) instead of the hunt-the-lemon URL. But the rest should be better.

[impulsereader.livejournal.com]

*blinks* The lemons need a Tardis. Why of course they do! Why didn't I see it before?

Meh. They'll get the idea.
