I am having my first ever day off ill in this job, having caught redcountess' cold. eyeliner297 has come over and is being utterly wonderful in taking care of us and running errands and showing off her extremely shiny new laptop.

We hope to leave for Wales on Sunday, though it may be Monday. Funeral is Wednesday. We'll set out for Whitby on Thursday, probably stopping back in London before going on to Whitby, as it seems that's actually faster than the direct-looking diagonal route from Wales to Whitby.

Well, yeah. Either he was framed really badly or he gets a world prize for hubris. Though he is of course innocent until and only if proven guilty.

Ah, you've just shown me that my entry for ELER in my daily bookmark folder must be pointing at an individual strip, rather than the latest -- thanks. Strangely, I'd just laughed far too hard at a related qdb.us entry (http://qdb.us/69910); ho-hum.

You and the ELER guy are SO going to hell.

Funny, though.

This is so unfair. Bush almost never appoints someone to a post if they're in any way knowledgable about the subject.

Oh dear. The implications are frightening.

Do we need to go put Eric Allman in protective custody? I mean, I've broken bread with Kirk (and Eric... and really it was more like "had lunch during a LISA conference because I actually knew Philadelphia"), and he didn't strike me as the violent type, but, hey, "they look just like the rest of us"...
