I normally leave my hood up while the sun is out, the ****ne off the top
of my head can sometimes be startling to those who haven't seen me
without hair.

I sometmes wondered just what to do with the Henge; if I ate it, it
could be seen as Scone Gluttony and if I left it to moulder (as is
obvious), it could be seen as Scone Neglect. I'm not entirely sure, but
presume that either choice would come somewhere under the jurisdiction
of Scone Blasphemy, although not nearly as bad as referring to scones as
"biscuits."

I'll claim a case of whiskey, a couple bottles of mead and a handfull of
scones. Soda bread is something I'm not sure I've had (if there is an
American equivalent, I might have), so a sample of that will do just
fine. I don't want to seem too greedy ;)
I'm afraid I don't have much to offer pressie-wise as I haven't really
travelled anywhere for quite some time. I'm planning to take a week off
of work in about a month or so, but with my budget as dreadfully tight
as it is, I doubt I'll be doing much travelling this year either.

I've not been to the castle or any other of the dwellings other than
under my rock, but from what I can tell everything is more or less as it
was left. Dust has been a frequent visitor under the rock, but given
that it's under the rock...dust suits the place. I prefer it to mud. I
tried making little statues out of mud one rainy day, but the next rain
that came along changed them back into lumps of wet dirt. Mud is just
not my medium, I guess.
If you need some help fixing up the treehouse, I've got some tools that
might come in handy.
