I like the sound of the Old Green Tree - 300 years old, character, fireplace, no jukebox, wood panelling... I think he'd like the fact that it hasn't changed since the 1920's. Though it *would* be fun to see Giles show up at the Royal Oak expecting a quiet evening of book club, only to stumble onto the Wednesday night Irish music jam session in progress!

The child-friendly one doesn't sound like Giles, nor the gay ones, IMHO.

I think he'd go to one that tended more to locals and old-timers than tourists or young, trendy people.

Is Giles *from* Bath, d'ya think? If so, he could've been to these pubs (for lunch) with his Grandma the Watcher, or his Dad, when he was a kid. Hence him liking that the Old Green Tree hasn't changed.

Your lj isn't full of "noise" - just lots of Torchwood references that I don't understand. Is that a British series? In Canada, we get British shows, but not usually until they're a few years old.

Your comments about the challenges of your life are more like mine than you'd think, though, considering that I'm a 50-something Canadian woman, recently divorced, with 2 grown kids - not sounding like you, eh? - but I, too, order groceries from helpful people, because going out to shop is usually emotionally beyond me (yikes, Christmas is almost here and I don't know how I'm going to get that shopping done!), and although I don't have cleaning helpers, my anxiety disorder keeps me from doing much effective housework, just lots of stressing over it. (I was thrown into all of these psychological quirks about 6 1/2 years ago, when my husband of 25 years suddenly announced he was gay, and my world went inside out... and then got worse.)

(Now, in my too-much-information way, I've said enough so that I don't know more about your private life by reading your lj than you do about mine!)

I'd love to hear more about the agoraphobia storyline, if talking about your writing isn't counter-productive for you.
