reddragdivawww.reddragdiva.co.uk works (with some pics missing), though reddragdiva.co.uk (no "www") doesn't. The server is fucked up beyond repair and will be rebuilt yet again in a day or two. Triple vodka to

hawkeviper.Arkady and I have been dead agented by the Scientologists, and they've even mixed in slander against
cadfael. What I want to know is how he pissed them off, which would mean I owe him a *pint* I was previously unaware of.
Sunday, arkady played out for the first time with her Morris side at the Havering Show in Hornchurch. (They call her "Rose" because it's simpler than "Arkady." But there's already a "Rose" so she'll be "Black Rose.") I went for moral support and documentation. We rushed to get there by ten, in time to wait around for two hours. Their first set started 11:50am and went fifty minutes, their second at 2:30pm for thirty minutes. She coped admirably with being brought on for the stick-throwing dance she'd never actually done before, let alone at a performance. But she's coordinated, can dance and can play an instrument, so she's ahead of 90% of Morris dancers already. (Like being a rock guitarist who knows a third chord.)
Local fairs make my skin crawl, but I could tolerate it for her first show. Beer tent had IPA. I bought raffle tickets for a hideously-coloured Peugeot 304 convertible. The Owl Rescue Society stall was pretty cool.
I failed to sunscreen. I saw my burnt face in the mirror and went "My God, I look English." How embarrassment!

Nice that they included that -- gods forbid that we consider sex for any other reason! ;P

Date: 2006-08-29 01:14 am (UTC)LRH Jr. was, unfortunately, not a reliable source.
That was fairly evident from the article, but given the author's rather tortured and voluminous writings I suspect there is more than a grain of truth to the claims.

I was always scared of Morris Dancers when I grew up. Clack! Clack!
