I'm still waiting for VLT and Meg Swansen's collection to make it across the ocean to a bookshop here or my LYS. I think I'll have to bite the bullet and order it myself via the interwebs. <BR/><BR/>Did you get an LCD or a plasma screen television? We're sticking with the bent screen for the time being.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124722668160658606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-8554233212939148342007-10-11T17:34:00.000+01:002007-10-11T17:34:00.000+01:00Right, Dark of Summer is now on my list.

First, though, I have a book by my grandmother's cousin (set here in Maine) to read.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047049720897209506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-78412255072394128932007-10-11T14:16:00.000+01:002007-10-11T14:16:00.000+01:00"Write everything down" wise advise!I am glad to h..."Write everything down" wise advise!<BR/>I am glad to hear that the postal services have been restored. I hope it will be long enough for J&S to ship my order of Shetland Supreme. I want to knit Princess with it. But then....if postal services are not fully restored then it might be while before we get the pattens. Hopefully everything will be OK by November when Sharon will release them....Laritzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380883584186444453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-21193588348482710642007-10-11T10:50:00.000+01:002007-10-11T10:50:00.000+01:00I think we godless types are getting better at fun...I think we godless types are getting better at funerals - having gone to a couple of dire crematorium ones, which were utterly bereft of atmosphere. My mum chose to be buried at a beautiful woodland burial ground in the new forest, carpeted with bluebells, and the ceremony was very touching, with music and readings. It's a beautiful place to go & visit afterwards too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-65309420467913105262007-10-11T09:29:00.000+01:002007-10-11T09:29:00.000+01:00I certainly agree with your moral: write everythin...I certainly agree with your moral: write everything down......but I have trouble keeping track of all those little notebooks and scraps of paper and backs of envelopes!

(I'll have God though). The two latest ones were held by a Humanist celebrant and I must say they were considerably more uplifting than the rent-a-minister type...you know, the ones where the deceased and the minister had never met. I came out from both thinking that the funeral had really managed to connect with the person whose life we had been talking about. They were "good" funerals, in that I sat and thought about the person involved.<BR/><BR/>No hymns though, which was wierd....!Spinningfishwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709744732495957360noreply@blogger.com
