My friends...

[smokingboot]

indulged me tonight.

The talk went well, not because of the speaker but cos of all those beaming faces.

My god, you lot, you have no idea how happy you make me.

Here's one from the heart. Thank you. X

It was an incandescently splendid talk, you were on top form, and everyone who missed it missed a rare treat!

And it was cool to see all those people again! It was a bit like stepping back in time!

And No 1 husband is right. You are a faerie child. During the talk you had your hair tucked behind your little elf ears, and it was obvious.

Big hugs, babe, you done good!

Aieee! The ears, the ears!

If I did well it's because I was surrounded by friendship and support, not least yours. Thank you for your superb advice and for being there.

You are most kind - and most welcome re friending! But I'm such a goon I can't recall your real life name...

[caffeine-fairy.livejournal.com]

Yay! You were great, and lovely to see you. Sorry we had to slope off early, but we had to take rather a Byzantine route home...

Don't be sorry, I was surprised and delighted to see you both at all! It's such a b*gger to get to, the Devereux.

Thank you for coming. You made me really happy.

Last night was great. Thank you for giving such a wonderful talk. It was almost like going back ten years or more to the heyday of Talking Stick.

If you're interested in scans of transcriptions of the earliest Middle-English manuscripts of Mr. T. Erceldoune, then drop me an email. The address is similar to my lj name ian_wyrdness. Just change the _ to an @ and add .org to the end.

That would be great, I'll get in touch. In the meantime, thanks for being there, it was marvellous to see you:-)

And the one day in the year that I really need to keep track of slips by without me remembering that it's wednesday.

Bugger.

Oh you! Not a big deal mon cher. There will be other times xxx

Indeed, darling girl, but listening to you expound your own brand ineffable wisodm is a rare enough event that missing even one occurance is a great loss.

Also (hugs) I miss the merry Boot chatter rather badly at times* We shall have to find an opportunity to talk nonsense and drink random toasts to the moon and our favourite chairs at some point.

I thought it might be you! Consider yourself friended.

Anything like the other weigh round? Ribbitt!

It was a wonderful evening, my dear. Sorry it has taken me so long to comment but this is the first opportunity I've had to read LJ since the talk.

You dun good, girl.
