h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hullo dear Prof! Thanks for your lovely message yesterday on the Lulu thread!

And seasons greetings to you also, dear fellow!

Let me send you several reindeer which aren't really reindeer, they are pictures. If they were real reindeer galloping about in my laptop, things would be crowded behind my screen.

How are you these days, dear Prof?

It's MY pleasure to know you sweetheartand I wish you health,wealth and much happiness for the coming new year and the many to follow (inc' your family of course)

Post 15 is only the start of the year

Hullo dear Prof

Sorry you had a bad year last year, health wise.

You're a fine game of cricket, my friend. 68 yrs and not out indeed. Good to see you still on the pitch.

I'm amazed when I watch cricket on TV these days. I remember when it was a gentle game on a village green. Now it seems the bowling has got faster, and one needs to wear a suit of armour.

Take care Prof

In Yorkshire we have a saying, the only way to keep a Yorkshireman down, is to plant 'im 6ft under

life happens! But with my "type/sense" of humour I'll make fun of it and have a laugh at the same time (with no disrespect of course to anyone)

If you can't laugh at yourself, then you DON'T have the right to laugh at anyone else

Sending the bestest of good wishes to you and your family sweetheartMay the New Year (and beyond) bring you good health, wealth and happiness

And to you, dear Prof! May humour and laughter forever warm our hungry hearts.

Thank you

There's only one thing that will STOP my humour and to bring smiles and that ain't happening for quite a while (he hopes)

Just asking for an updateif you please..
As in, not "seeing" you much in hootoo of late.
How are you sweetheart ? I hope all is well with you, in all aspects
and a belated Happy New Year to you

also to your family

Hullo dearest Prof!

And New Year greetings to you also, Sir.

Thank you for your greetings and hullo!

I do pop into h2g2 to say hullo sometimes, but am lurking in my own world quite a lot these days. I am becoming increasingly internet shy when it comes to publishing work.

Having said that, I do go into my journal from time to time and lay down some fragments of inspiration. heheh. That's where I am happiest.

Nothing like talking rubbish, and printing out several fried egg smileys to make me smile.

Lovely to talk to you Prof.

I thank you for your reply love and fully understand

"I am becoming increasingly internet shy"

But! I can honestly say sweetheartIF ? you wish to "talk/converse" etc (with me) off the internet, if you ask Dmitri, he has my email address via "The Post" and I'll ask him to pass it on to you if you wish

I've cleared it with Dmitri and he'll pass it on to you if you if you wish it so

I don't "speak" to you often as such, but I sincerely hope that you and your family are keeping safe and well Please take all and every precautions to remain so

Hullo dearest Prof! Thank you so much for getting in touch, sorry, I never got back to your previous posting! I was coming and going a bit around that time! I seem to be back at the moment though! h2g2 always lures me back somehow with its magic.

Kisses to you! If my life takes me elsewhere again, I'll contact you via email.

And I hope that you and your friends and family are also keeping safe and well. Bless you dear Prof.

NO apologies EVER needed sweetheart ok!
Life (and related issues) ALWAYS comes first

Many of my friends here in hootoo I've NOT met yet, but nevertheless! They are STILL my friends and have the same status as anyone of my friends anywhere

The olde saying - Friends Are!

Being a tad nosey as such and also in concern of a friend, are you and family all ok ? with the ongoing "lockdown" syndrome etc

Hullo Prof!

We're doing fine, in fact, in lockdown. Obviously, we've had panics and sorrow and fear like everyone else, but are adapting more and more as the weeks go by. I think we'll not want to give up some of the ways of our new life, things are slower and simpler and creative because of that.

Hows about you?

Dear Prof.

To be honest lovenothing is different for me, I'm on my own and still only go out when I need something (shopping etc) so self isolation is meaningless to me
I take precautions when out of course - a facemask/gloves of sorts

But! As I say to anyone - I've got the perfect answer to the 6ft social distancing I've STOPPED showering as soon as I start smelling"they'll" keep away
