Okay guys. I've moved back my parents. (Technically) I live in a house owned by my parents on my own biggrin



Downside is that I no longer have internet access there. I have to go to their shop (where they live) to go online. Added to the strict clampdown of net usage at work I can no longer be the post-censored I used to be.



It's also been a stressful time now. Arranging my trip to Oz, Glastonbury. I'm still spinning when the weather allows (in the process of turning the second bedroom into a makeshift practice room) but my time on HOP will be severly limited... (altogether now... 'HURRAAH!')



Please enjoy a cleaner HOP when I'm gone...



Laters... hug wave

mmm, I was wondering where you'd got to, I was sorry I needed to legit last time I caught you on MSN (though I ended up spotting I had only 4 posts to get to 1000 on hop, so left really late for the class, lol).

what exactly has been going on then? Is this all to do with going to Oz?

21st Sept - Melbourne Juggling Convention

Hi Dave...

It was so very lovely to meet you in Oz...I hope you make it back in the future...and you have to look up myself and my soon to be hubby hippie...or should that be 'hippie hubby'? confused

Regardless...hope you enjoyed your stay and you certainly inspired Pat to work on his spinning...he's gotten quite good...I'm rather proud of him.

hugs
