good on you, Ally. Andrew told me last weekend he'd be accepting something of yours. | ||

Really - that's cool.I sent him the two stories set in China - The Celestial Dragon and The Silk Road. He's an editor who is a joy to work with. | ||

Thanks Huw,Gary and Mark! It will be interesting to see New Horizons. It will alternate with Dark Horizons - both published by the society. | ||

Bugger - sorry Mick! Thank you. I was replying, discussing with my husband about how many bags of gravel it would take to do the flower bed - then the maths teacher put his head over the wall and put in his penny worth. My computer is practically in the garden it is so close to the patio doors. And Heather wanted an envelope for a competition....phew! | ||

Mick - the weeds were taking over. I had to do something drastic. Two tons of gravel arrives Wed :>) | ||
| Griff (Griff) Username: Griff Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 195.93.21.100 |
Simply plant mint it oucompetes all other weeds! | ||
| Griff (Griff) Username: Griff Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 195.93.21.100 |
"outcompetes" even! | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.32.223 |
Thanks Michael! Griff - after looking at the bill for the gravel - I wish I had done :>( | ||

Well done. I'm afraid my story "Manningham Lane, Bradford" doesn't quite have the same panache. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.78.60.11 |
Thanks Simon! Will you be flying in with Ian when you come over in September? I'm looking forward to seeing you both :>) Albie - every now and then I get out my old leather jacket with the death head on the back and scare the children :>) | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.78.60.11 |
Ta Gary - remember I have to compensate because I live in Penistone :>) | ||
| Simon Strantzas (Nomis) Username: Nomis Registered: 05-2008 Posted From: 38.113.181.169 |
Ally, it's unlikely Ian and I will end up arriving together. I'll be coming in a few days early to be shown around London by Mark Samuels and then heading over to Notthingham on Friday. At least, that's the plan at present. | ||
| Mick Curtis (Mick) Username: Mick Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.159.156.247 |
Call us up, Simon, if you like - we could meet you in London, as we live in the outskirts and can get to the centre in less than an hour. | ||
| Simon Strantzas (Nomis) Username: Nomis Registered: 05-2008 Posted From: 38.113.181.169 |
Good idea! Shoot me your contact info (privately, of course) and I'll try to remember to program it into my phone. | ||

"Albie - every now and then I get out my old leather jacket with the death head on the back and scare the children :>)" That's funny, because the children sometimes get out a skull with a little leather jacket stuck on its forehead and scare me. We are so alike. | ||
