(no subject)

Today and yesterday were very strange. Big highs and big lows, both for me and for friends of mine. I don't think I'll talk about them. Instead, I'll meander a little. My mind is in meandering mode, anyhow.

I had a totally lovely afternoon yesterday and have a horseshoe and a 19th century French key to remind me of it. Afternoons like that give the inner peace to deal with everything else, I think. It was a wonderful, wonderful birthday present, that gift of peace.

This morning my doorbell buzzed and I nearly walked into two of my neighbours, whose doorbells had also been buzzed. The postie was delivering lots of parcels! Mine was the best. A friend and I collect silly things for each other and occasionally post them - this was my latest box of goodies. Some of it was very unsilly - a little reproduction Medieval pot, a book of eighteenth century recipes, some cute little blank cards. The keyring she sent, though, is rather creepy. Gothic horror. I shan't describe it. I think it's something that needs saving until an appropriate moment and then wielding judiciously.

Open question reminder

Just to remind you that I can be asked questions here, right till the end of Coyote Con (which lasts the whole of May.). It's worth taking a look at the Coyote Con website, BTW. There are still some very interesting sessions to come (including pitch sessions), and there are transcripts up for many of the previous events.
