I enjoyed the UK Filk Con
It was nice to reconnect with people. Concerts I saw were enjoyable. Circles I attended were nice. Naming no names at the risk of missing anybody out. I regret everything I missed, and I'm sorry I didn't spend more time with people who wanted to spend more time with me.

SOLD: MacBook Pro
Sorry, this ship has sailed.
Since I got my iPad, I've used my MacBook Pro less and less.
It's more than four years old now, well out of warranty and AppleCare coverage, and in very good shape. We have a new family iMac, and filceolaire loves his 17" iMac and prefers to hold on to it, even though the MBP is newer ( Read more... ) -

What I actually did
- Went to The London Particular for coffee and lunch.
- Walked to the bus stop to head into Lewisham to pick up some reading glasses.
- Realised that a) it got awfully cold and I needed a jacket; b) the next bus to Lewisham wasn't due for 16 minutes from the stop I was at; and c) my house keys were in my computer backpack, not in my handbag.

Some photographs of our day
Today as many of my friends, I was in Olney for a celebration of Keris' life. filceolaire and I were lucky to get a lift from valydiarosada and her lovely husband, and along with the equally lovely LD, we headed off to Olney. We arrived around noon, had a relaxed lunch, before and after which I took a few photographs, then headed off to bid Keris farewell ( Read more... ) -
I changed my name.
Just thought you ought to know. I know, it's harder to spell than the old name, but it encompasses more stuff. And it contains a play on words, which might amuse some of you.
I'm also changing back to a public posting base, though many posts will still be locked.
