Kerri came and dragged me off to bed, just as I was hitting my straps.

OK, it was half past one in the morning, but still...

Looking increasingly difficult to finish. And my demon wife throws yet more demands on my time. Why oh why did we have to get married in the last week of NaNoWriMo? 22 years ago.

A fun Friday update, having a wonderful time on the forums as we all listened to BBC Shropshire online. All except elhamisabel who was able to surf but not hear, her archaic library computer unable to cope with the modern age. I got the feeling she spent most of the update screaming with frustration.

She skyped me this morning and complained about this, also solving a year old mystery. She was my Secret Santa of a year ago, buying me a copy of Mansfield Park, which arrived as a pleasant surprise but no indication of provenance beside the name of a large Australian bookchain.

I tried to pretend that it came from Annuncial, but I was quite in the dark until this morning. Thank'ee kindly, Elhamisabel!

And she inspired me to skype Sunneschi in Switzerland, so I had two very pleasant calls one after the other, and Sunneschi came up with an idea for a world trip which would force me to stop and visit her. I won't say what it is, because it is such a wonderful idea that I'm afraid that someone else will do it ahead of me, and I'm booked up until mid 2007 with themed trips.

Of which I have to write up my London Monopoly trip sharpish, so that it can be launched in Toronto next year.

Yikes! Why do I do these things to myself?

Afraid of Pete? He's a pussycat!

Hehe!!

But.. I have never had any contact to Pete before.. I just added him to my friends list on LJ because I knew his name. So, I thought it was a bit too much just to call!;-)

Every time I looked at sykpe today, no one was on. I was a skype orphan.

I wanted to call you yesterday evening.. (you were online). After talking to Pete I was so excited and brave enough to call. But I was talking to elham, and when we fnished, you were gone!!
So, maybe another time!:-)

I saw Bookczuk's message above and skyped her. I love talking to laughczuk, such a merry business!

When I finally meet her, I'm sure I'll be tongue-tied until we go into adjacent rooms and communicate online!
