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

I have been working on your surprise all afternoon, dear CC...I had technical problems, some of which bordered on the supernatural, such as 'how did several bars of 'Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing', *on a completely different organ*, suddenly appear in the middle of this solo?' Sometimes I weird myself out.

I never solved that puzzle - probably couldn't without a Ouija board - but I have finally prevailed in the Leslie wars. So you can have your early Christmas present:

I hope you don't think it's sacrilege...

Can we have HL version of Born to be Wild next please.

If I can find it...

Album out for Christmas?

What a (possibly awful) idea...maybe a Youtube playlist...

Ouija board has Black Friday offers for de luxe explanations, that are more expensive than on normal Fridays, because they are de luxe, which means that everything is explained in a special spooky voice.

I love it! Love the HL Hallelujah! Love it love it love it!!

Thankyouuuuuuu!!!!

It's such a great format, the soundtrack, with the moving pics!!! There's Brightling!! and the phone box in your town! And Molly, and the Leslie, and an FWR concert ticket (HL will be performing in a town named Xanadu near you, or not, depending on whether mvp has done her X piece yet, must check).

This is the best!!

I think today is Christmas!! Happy Nov 25th.

Hallelujah! my book has arrived!!!!

I just ripped open the package, even though Santa is going to steal it first.

It's beautiful! Love that easy clean shiny cover, that I can bend like a magazine and cover with jam and coffee.

Its light enough to put in my daypack, and take to cafes, but posh enough to put on our coffee table, to perfectly complement our Mathmos aduki light. .

Guide Entries are great on screen, but they're the best on this papyrus.Or is it parchment? Do I have the original, here?

The photos and illustrations are gorgeous!!

On first flip through I see FWR's wonderful work! And the Ed, and lots of names I recognise!

I need a signed copy, for sure.

The next book will have an HL soundtrack CD tucked inside the cover. And free FWR designed tickets to shows in Peculiar-Places-On-Sea.

And I love the categories in the Table of Contents.

Hah! there's the article by mvp, this is interesting. Hold the page up to the Exeter mirror obelisk, and you will see riddles written in mirror writing, which represent repeating patterns from parallel universes.

These universes are to be found inside a strange looking tortoiseback yam that is stored on the Tenth Floor, which is above the Ninth Floor.

Rookie mistake presuming the ninth is below the tenth, especially when dealing with mirrors!

This is becoming rather Dan Brown.

I never owned a tortoiseshell Yam, but I did have one with tiger stripes!

Last nightshift so normality will be restarted tomorrow and I can catch up on everyone's Nov offerings.

Off to find something shiny to see if there are any hidden codes......

Business as usual around here, I see. Glad you liked the slideshow and song.

have emailed you GoHL!

That's gorgeous! Now to produce music anywhere near that good...

That's your Christmas card sorted!

Absolutely!

More hidden messages?

In "Molly does Bach" who wants to talk about Emma Swan?

Emma Swan The Saviour? The Greatest Light?

Has Molly built a mirrored obelisk at Hoggets?

Does Heavy Leslie open up portals to otherworlds?

Do I need more caffeine?

I imagine it was Rumpelstiltskin, but yes to all the other questions. Except the last one.

Deep, deep beneath an unassuming homestead, the ancient column of the tekhenu stirred.

Vibrations pulsed down the mirrored monolith causing the earth to dance.

Bastet, long forgotten lioness, felt the disturbance of the dance too.

Gazing down at the small blue planet from her lunar throne, pleasure causing deep rumbles in her chest.

Oh to be remembered after such a long wait.

Oh to have flesh, blood and bone bow before her once again.




The moon glowed brightly as the unassuming man in rather wet brogues trudged through the still falling rain, pausing to shoo the cats away, he pushed open the rickety gate.

The strange organ music coming from the building almost drowning out the sound of walnut shells crunching under his brogues as he entered Hoggetts Farm..

Oh, no, here we go again...

Cats, walnuts and obelisks....you and cc may be caught up in some fiendish ancient Egyptian plot.....from the Nile through medieval England to the Eds house, the common link - a trail of walnut shells....

I'm afraid you've lost me .

But I shouldn't venture into cc's Daydream Journal without expecting magic, myth, music and really wild things...

My fault entirely. I've mixed several threads, a bit of YouTube and gone off into another ramble!

Must stop popping in here, it makes me think strange thunks.

Anyway, you're never really lost, just enjoy the surroundings til you see a way home.
