Here is the house.

arkady is back and I am enormously happy. She has muscles, stamina and a tan. And claims exhaustion but is still bouncing around. This is good.
Today we have been househunting. One was a Warner flat on a top floor, which ruled it out because they all have stupidly steep stairs — which is a real pity, because it was a 3½ bedroom flat in the area of our present two-bedroom. The other would be nice if the top floor hadn't been the size of a box.
Strength Through Dreadnought was a top night out. I got about a zillion shotson the Ixus 50, then let
irisetta near it. This was probably not a mistake, but her obsessive photographer crackpipe expression when she's framing a shot is certainly somewhat frightening. And to think I nearly brought the Ixus i as a spare! She did get a couple of decent ones of me, though. Katie, I have a couple of Ixus v or v2 here which take great shots as easily as that one and will be forty quid or less, so cheap enough not to worry too much over. I suspect your friends and loved one will be forcing you to get one from me so that they can have their cameras back.
The black, black and more black is a bit sp00ky. So last night's makeup was purple in theme. This actually worked really well.
I haven't gone through the pics yet, but I have some samples:
irisetta; a halfway decent shot of me.
The fabulous
zellah, who was drunk enough to request a pile of shots of her.
zapruder and bling;
djpsyche, phwoar!
Arkady and I are about to go and visit
