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

Darn it. You need to complain to the NI equivalent of the Better Business Bureau - those people shouldn't be licesncd if they'll do that to anyone. There might be some sort of listserve or consumer protection sites on the web where you could warn other people from them.

Oh yes, Trading Standards. Mentioning them was the only thing that got me any kind of reaction at all...

What are you up to?

I went to the SCA meeting you found me and have a ton of new friends Thanks!

Glad that they were nice! More fun to come.

Yes, it was good.

Unfortunately, the horses weren't so good today - I was lungeing two of them at once (they have to learn to walk together as a carriage team) and they took off on me. I nearly waterskiid across the arena, and burned the skin off my palms from the sandy rope.

stampede! Sorry to hear about your hands - you need to invest in some leather gloves for those scoundrels.

Yes. Gloves can't hurt anyway, it's gotten reaaaaaaally cold.

Poor thing, it has recently got cold (well seasonal in the 60s F) and last week it was in the 70s. I just hope it doesn't get bitter cold over the winter.

Get gloves.

I did - several pairs. And earmuffs. It's cold and wet, so now I wear a wool coat with a waterproof coat over it to cycle to uni in the mornings...

Hope you don't get

It did snow today - fortunately only after we'd brought the horse and the trailer back up the hill!

I'm glad you weren't out in it. Sorry about the peasant hunters, that is really mean and unnecessary.

Yes, and it scares the horses

That weekend was hard work! I'm almost glad to be going back to Uni tomorrow, I get to sleep longer

Besides smiley creation, what have you been up to? Are you going home for Christmas? How are both your sisters faring?

Also, what do you think of my second foray into Guide Entryhood:

Transgender and Intersex Olympians A87724588 ?

Hi Elektra I'll read your entry later - promise. Right now, I'm off to bring the first car load of stuff over to the new house; I'm moving today!

I hope you get an apartment with heat!

We've got a whole house to ourselves (3 people) - a decent-sized (if not large) bedroom each, a kitchen, dining room, and living room. And a bathroom, of course. I get the attic room

And we'll only be paying 2/3 of the rent we paid here, so good deal all around.

And the heater works OK then, and do you still have the same roommates?
