*floating in, somewhat stiff-legged*

Good evening all!

Matina, a Y of champagne, please...

*floating out on veranda to watch the fireflies*

Good evening everyone. I think I'll join Titania and drink champagne on the veranda.

Another Y please, Matina. No doubt Titania has the bottle.

Am I that predictable?

Hmm, maybe I ought to change my manners, like to stay just a little bit mysterious, you know...

Oh, that's one habit I think I'd rather you didn't change. It's always good to know where the champagne bottle is.

So why the stiff-legged floating?

I tried to cover 1 Swedish mile as fast as possible today (Swedish women's run 'Tjejmilen')

Considering I have a) a stiff ancle, because I broke it rather badly a couple of years ago and b) my asthma, due to a specific sort of grass flowering this time of year
- I am quite happy to notice I made 10 km in 1 hour 26 minutes, making an average speed of 7 km/hour.

And - most important of all - I had fun while doing it! (Although my Mom beat me with 6 minutes!)

*looks at Watch*

Oh! Time for me to go now, I'm afraid...I've got to prepare things for my journey to San Beta tomorrow...

Amy, either my Computer, Watch, or COMPIGRAM will continue to discuss the Project with you once I'm gone...OK?

Toodlepip then!

*walks out into the garden, and teleports to the Space Station*

Bye, Big C!

*waving from veranda*

And good luck with your book!

Man, I wish I could run like I used to. Some days my stamina goes to pot *^_^*

Some day, I'll check out some B, C and D movies. I've got a list on things I'll do "some day". Yikes.

I know the 'some day'-feeling...

The question is, should you wait until you retire to do those things, or should you find time RIGHT NOW to do it?

I always found it interesting, when people who have been close to death tell you they changed their life, living 'one day at the time', instead of in the future...

I'd comprimise. There's not much a 14-going-on-15 year old kid can do about travelling to all the places he wants (to be precise, five right now), getting all those albums he ever meant to get, seeing all those films and so on. Guh. Be patient, Wrathchild.

Bye Big C. Sorry, I drifted off there to do some scouting duties. Is there any more champagne in that bottle?

I nearly volunteered to run 5km for a cancer charity earlier in the year but it clashed with another commitment. Phew! That was close!

*pours Amy a Y of champagne*

Let me know if you want more! This is my contribution to Lil's atelier; a self-refillable, never-ending bottle of champagne. If I'm not around, you'll find it in the fridge... which is guarded by Styx..

Thanks Titania.

I think Styx is guarding his pork pies rather than the champagne!

Do not be too sure about that...
I ran out of my elf-powers once, leaving the champagne bottle the ONLY source of champagne at the time... that's when Styx started to guard the fridge...

Close to midnight, got to go...

Good night!

*drifting off, in her usual v.e.l.manner, not so stiff-legged any more*

Morning all. (Monday) A champagne toast to Spring. Five days to go.

Glug

*looks up from a rather involving book... one that he had been pretending to read, upside down, whilst dozing off*

Hmm... has anyone seen eXistenZ ? The movie?

*floating in, in her usual v.e.l.manner*

Good morning, all!

Matina, OJ and café mélange, please...

*drifting out on veranda to enjoy the sunshine*
