Nitey nite :friends0: I hope that as I am writing this you are busy being visited by the force of productiveness :friends0:!

No such thing as too much kindness, especially as directed towards a lovely woman who deserves as much serenity as you do hope you get to feel better soon, I'm here if you ever need an ear or shoulder along the way.

Oh good I hope "Hercules" has the same mind-blowing, heart-rending, life-chancing effect on you as it had on me, or at least that you enjoy it very very much. If you do I might start a thread listing literary oddities by me recommended; they seem to be in demand...

Oooh indeed, what did you go see? My first and so far last RSC was the Tennant Hamlet (twice - long story); it was a bit of a mixed bag but when it was good, it was in another league. I mean, Patrick Stewart (who, I'm happy to say, signed my study copy of the Arden Hamlet...)!

Sending you lots of vibes for the move - so glad you're feeling more positive about it now - and apologies for not being my usual ubiquitous self of late, I've come down with the Evil Flu of Doom so anything other than short and snappy posts is beyond me atm...! How are you ?

Settled is a big word, but I'm more it than I was I suppose, and moreover furnished of an internet connection of sorts. & how are we?

Tee hee hee - bless you, you poor tricked (& damned, if in a royal way of course...) soul! x

Thank you I did - it was AWESOME! Ta-tatata-tata-tatatata-tatatata-tata!

Thank you I did actually. Must say, I am approving the pinkness...!

Thank you it worked, a great time was had actually - Star Trek was everything I hoped it would be and then some!

Thank you it's good to be back. Drowning in essays rather but all other impediments to my love affair with the board have been kicked in the bum, so here I be!

Thank you for the birthday wishfulness my dear. I'm quite all over the place again if I'm honest though, barely keeping together thanks to coffee, editorial sense of duty, and not wanting to worry the family. I'm trying hard to chill but it's, well, hard. Oh well, still. It must get better, and so must things for you - I hope you're doing even betterer than you were when I heard last. Huggles xxxxxxx

Thank you for the recommendation would you say it's a good intro to Mieville's work as a whole, then?

Thank you for your words and thereness, my friend it means a lot that you're not mad at me actually, I was getting worried you might be miffed at what might have seemed like being ignored - in any case, you are not, and you shall be emailed soon, I pinky promises I does. Lots of love xxx

Thanks for being my friend x

Why hello don't be shy, everybody's really lovely I promise!

Why hello had a bit of an evil-flu-ridden Xmas but apart from that (and being stuck at Heathrow for days), I did have a lovely Xmas hope you did to xx

Why thank you !

Why thank you am a bit dead to the world at the minute (life's gearing up from intense to very intense right now) but I promise I'll be back for good soon xxx hope you're doing as fantabulous as you are.

Why thank you for the imaginary hat tip, it brightened my rather opaque day You have a good, un-opaque one yourself, and I hope "House of Leaves" by my near-homonym starts, er, growing on you soon.

Yay for cyberhugs *returns them in all their fairy-dusted sparkliness as required * and how are we my dear? Much love and stuffs xxxxx

Yay for telepathic - as well as telematic - hugs, sending you some shamefully belated ones back hope you're doing well my friend, watchaupto? xxxxxxxxx

Yay, huggles can really use them right now, I'm not in the best of places, you sound like you could do with a few two hunni so here they are turns out I'm a silly and my inbox was full after all, heh *looks around sheepishly* you take care sweetheart, and no letting the silly narrowminded people get you down oki? xxxxxx

You are doing enough by caring now. All going well, I'll be moving to Stratford-Upon-Avon; all going pear-shaped, I'll be going back home for a good while. Who knows? Only time and stress will tell xx

You come at a time when hugs a needed - yet I still fly, if low and slowly, thanks to the loveliness of people who will not allow me to give up on my broken wing. As someone who shares that lovely quality of spirit, which includes (but is not restriced to) putting others before yourself and always knowing how to inspire, comfort and soothe them, you have been missed, and are very dearly welcome back. I hope you're back to stay, and that I may before long read more of your words of wisdom. Have many hugs in return for the ones you so thoughfully sent to me; I hope they find you also entranced by the joys of flight.
