So yesterday was my annual barbeque. nearly_everyone attended, and people seemed to have a great time, which makes me very happy. People didn't seem to mind me running around in circles, being unable to finish sentences, and foisting huge quantities of food onto them. People also brought their small people, who raced around and generally had a fab time and didn't fall into the pond and drown. Which is definitely a bonus.

Thank you *so* much to you all for coming! It was an awesome day, spent in the company of lots of people who I know and love. You're amazing!

I have: a fox, a red sticklebrick, a yellow pencil crayon, and a black cherokee jumper. I know who the sticklebrick belongs to - any takers for the others?

ETA:Jumper claimed! And fox claimed!

And thank you guys for the awesome selection of wool, vouchers for wool, vast quantities of truly excellent chocolate, and lush bath stuff. Truly the perfect presents! *is so happy*

You are awesome. And to the few of you who couldn't make it, you have a standing invitation to come and visit, as you should know by now. So get in touch, come visit, and we'll barbeque anyway. *grin*

In other news: today I did lots of washing, a little tidying up, and some writing. It's been my first vegging 'day off' in a long time, it feels like! And tomorrow the very last part of Correspondence Course goes up over at the_proofreader. So if you were waiting to read it all? Head on over in the morning and it'll be waiting for you. *grin*

and a black cherokee jumper

Ah, that's mine. I'll be in touch to arrange a collection...

[ellenscult]

Good stuff! :) You know, I could have drawn up a list of people it could belong to, but really, it's a black jumper. And all my friends. *grin*

Thank you so much for coming round with Evie! It was so good to see you both. She's grown so much, and she's *still* utterly fearless! Have you thought about taking her climbing some time? *grin*

*much love*

The fox is mine.

But I let Kit play with him.

Could you persuade your lovely husband to take it to work where he can pass it one to smorgasbord?

[ellenscult]

I'll do my best! I'm glad to see he's claimed. Thank you so much for coming over! It was wonderful to see Tamaris having such an excellent time. And one of the things which made my party was when she insisted I pick her up. Hurrah! You have an amazing daughter. Which I'm sure you know already. Still. She's awesome. *grin*

Much love.

I'm glad you had such a wonderful time :D

[ellenscult]

Thank you! :) It'll be great to see you when you're out from under ThesisMountain. Best of luck with it.

Thanks, it's really nice of you to say so :D

I'm really looking forward to getting back into writerly things, seeing more people, and generally having more time for crafting and other such creative enterprises!

BTW, did you need anything from The Medieval Tailor's Assistant? I've got hold of a copy, but I'll have to give it back to the university soon :P
