NO, it was too cold so I jumped in the sea and went to Iceland.

Well, mostly. ooooo dust and sun and sunscreen and wind...goody! Whoooopeeeee! Yaaaaahooooooooo! Yipppeeeeee!

Good gosh Dizzy, that's shocking.

Hello Red Dog, another of my exceedingly rare entrances to h2g2...Do you remember, a long time ago, you gave me a brief outline of a number of major wars over the last century? well, at school recently I've been filling in that list a bit, but always I think back to, ah, that's right, I remember what someone strange on the internet told me... So thankyou

GP

strange .... that suit fits it's good to know I made a positive impression ....... and that you pop back once in a while to say hello.

RD

Hey RedDog, I seem to remember I emailed you about hairdressers and other important information, and you emailed back, but now my stupid account deleted the emails () so I can't remember if I actually sent you the hairdresser information or not! Judging by your hairdresser page I'd say not, would you like it again?

Hi Niwt, I don't recall getting it but my service provider went through some trouble a while back so it may have not been a fault at your end. If you send it again I will make sure it goes up

I know you got at least one, because you replied (and told me your new address), but it could be that the actual hairdresser email never arrived, or that I never sent it.

Here again! I like cherry blossoms, they smell absolutely delightful. How are you going? (not you Diz, you're FAR too common ) I had the foulest history exam in the world. Horrendous. But oh well. You made a very positive impression. I had a good history teacher recently, which was nice I started reading The God of Small Things yesterday, have you read it?

GP

Hiya ...... I'm hoping you persevere with History as I've got a lot from it over the years - not least of which is that wherever you go you know something about what made that place and it's peoples.

I'm good if a little busy at work. Just got back from London where I was fortunate enough to dine at the House of Commons with our local MP. I made it into the chamber and stood at the despatch boxes and everything.

Haven't read The God of Small Things - the closest I can get is "Small Gods" by Terry Prachett which I would recommend.

Slightly different style I have also read Small Gods. It's not one of my favourite Terry Pratchett's, though I have heard such good things about it I think I ought to try it again.

History is going delightfully, apart from a massive looming assignment which I haven't begun...I am working on the assumption that everything seems to get done, in the end, so presumably this will too.

School is grand, actually. I love it. There are a thousand and one things to tell, only here is rather public, don't you think? I shall just say that I have made LOTS of new friends recently, and it was heaps of fun, and it's been good keeping up with them. I love becoming part of a new world, with all the politics and tribulations and loyalties that such a situation entails. Endlessly amusing, especially if you can, at times, keep yourself detached enough to have a good laugh at it.

I recently made the first post I had made in AGES. The fact that I have returned the next day may or may not hint at greater things to come. I was so proud of myself for not discovering Solitaire on our new operating system, but I may have replaced that procrastinatory device with this darling little thing again...we'll see how it goes.

After having read 81 pages of "Gladrags and Handbags" (Maggie Alderson) in assorted bookshops, I finally borrowed a copy of it from the library today, and am keeping it safe for when I finally pen the opening words of an essay I am yet to start.

I hope you are well, and that things are proceeding delightfully.
