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

I'm fine, thanks, busy, tired, but fine.
Roll on December, though, November really isn't 'my' month, it usually makes me feel low with its grey, wet and cold weather with no sunshine.

I like November more so than December, Christmas is depressing for me. Whereas November has Bonfire Night. Went to Lindfield Bonfire this year, decent enough show, given the financial problems they have recovering from last year's 400th 'birthday' display.

We don't have bonfire here, but we have Advent in December: you wind and ornate a wreath of 'Tannenzweige', and put four candles on it. On the 1. Adventsunday, you light the first candle. And we have Advent Calendars, christmas bisquits/cookies, christmas bazars etc. So it's only the three christmnas days (our main day being 24th)and new year's eve to survive.

Hi B'Elana, m'dear. How are you?

I want to get Terri to send you that copy of Voodoo Handbag. Would you like to e mail me at azathoth nyxkind at yahoo dot co dot uk so that I have e mail addy for and include an addy Terri can send the book too?
It's almost a year since I first asked her to do this and it's never gonna happen unless I'm co-ordinating it.

Hello dear, how nice to hear from you!
I'm fine, just somewhat stupid/naive sometimes, I've let myself in for writing another Guide entry
Terri has my email address as well as my home address, but I giuess she lacks either
pecunias
or
memory
or
time
or
whatever.
Maybe you just ask her to send the book back to you, maybe that will have more success.
my email is claudia.belana at yahoo's rival (ie.googlemail)com - you know where to put the dots etc

Ut-oh! What are you going to be Researching?

Surely it must be cheaper to post to Germany than to the UK from France? I've given her a year and it takes the fun out of things when you have to be pushy...

I don't know about shipping fees in France. germany to UK can be quite expensive, but I've never sent anything to France yet. The entry will be about a car http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F150575?thread=3817517

I'd have thought there were no ships water or airbourne involved FRance to Germany and thusly a reduced cost...

Well you'll get a T-shirt out of it - how cool is that?!

Yes, that will be really , especially since I never intended to accept any of the challenges
All the post is sent by planes anyway, so it shouldn't really matter whether the plane passes water or mountains. But then I really don't know how much it costs.

Narf.
Ah, there are quite a few mountains between the two countries, aren't there?

Yes, Germany has some of them. Where in France does Terri live, do you know?
I'm off to bed now, have a good night.

Rest well m'dear...

I'm told you should have an e mail from Terri. So things should start to get sorted out.
Once you've had a chance to read it, I'd be interested in what you thought of it and whom else you think may enjoy it. The idea is to get the book around the world...

Yes, I had an email from Terri. She'll send it as soon as she gets a minute.

Egg Shell

As you were

Egg Shell ; phonetically similar to 'excellent'.

Thank you - people usually have to spell these things out to me, I rarely get them myself.

Yes, sorry, it was rather random of me.
How are you m'dear?

No nmeed to apologise, I love to learn new things.

I'm fine, thanks, a bit busy with that entry, I don't think I'll ever again write about a car. I had no idea just how enthusiastic people can get about a car.
