just to say “not dead yet!” I have a Kate for the weekend. We went out to Lough Key castle & forest & grounds today (we were on our way to Boyle Abbey, but we didn’t quite make it that far). She was under instructions from Sammy to show me bluebells, and now I have seen bluebells, and soon I will post pictures of bluebells. :) It was really a very splendid day tromping through the woods, and it hardly rained on us at all, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.…

I’ve been verbed!

Aiming to finish the book by Friday (after…

I had a lovely lunch with themselves and Pádraig and Deirdre (Pádraig hauled us all into the Dublin City Gallery to show us Francis Bacon’s reconstructed studio, which was a nightmare. I mean, not only could I not work in that, but stepping inside it made me actively uncomfortable. However, John, peering in the window at the utter disaster, said to…
home again!
We’re home again from P-Con VI, which was one of the nicest cons I’ve been to.

The whole con ran *extremely* smoothly, and panels were well-attended and there…
