wow, congratulations, Wendy! that's just... well, 'great news' doesn't really cut it, but it IS, for all that :)

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Thanks Marta for welcoming me back! We had a wonderful week in the UK. The weather was so gorgeous every day - warm & sunny! (You almost forgot you were in the UK :lol: ) In fact, the day we went to Wimbledon, it was almost too hot! I did think of you guys while I was there and wished that we could all be together! I just know we'd have such fun!

And, yes, Marta, I have attended numeorus baby showers! Too bad you live so far away, or I'd be sure to make an appearance at yours!

Glad to see everyone is getting along with life here in the US - some with more ease than others, but still getting through it!

Congrats to US Wendy!! I've often wonder what became of you and am glad to know that your visa journey is finally complete!!! Best wishes to you both for the future.

Well, work is calling me back at the moment, but hopefully, I'll have more time to post later!!

hello Julez; lovely to see you back safe :luv:

and insanely envious over you having been in London so recently... I miss it like crazy :(

Marta, been reading through my Czech cookbook, which Dave and I bought when we went to Prague together :)

you'll have to give me some pointers ;)

I thought about you a lot the day we were in London. I know how very dear that city is to you! I envy you in that you were able to spend a few years there. I've only ever gone for a day or two!

Our day in London was a whirlwind! Mostly spent in Wimbledon with Griff's son and his daughter. She's nearly one and a lovely little girl. It was our first time meeting and more than a bit awkward, but we got through it. We bonded a bit over the really awful Japanese dinner we all shared that evening! His wife is a chocolatier at the very posh Chocolate Society in London and she bestowed us with some decadent fresh chocolates that she made that same day. Scrummy in the extreme!

I know, I do try to remember that I was so fortunate to have the time I had... and you know, I don't think I ever took it for granted; even years in, I could still walk down some normal street and think 'I live in LONDON!' and be all excited :)

I hope we get back there some day... I love it so much :)

but then, maybe we'll go somewhere else - I think I could handle living in Leipzig... or Prague... or Lisbon... or Edinburgh... or or or... ;)

glad things went well with the fam! even gladder chocolate was involved :D

You're lucky to have the flexibilty to move in the next few years! We're moving to Hamburg next week, but the one in NY state!

Here's links to the chocolates:

Very delicious and highly recommended to anyone still in the London area!

*nom nom* on the chocs :)

I don't know about flexibility though... Dave's son will be done with school in about a year, but we don't know what he'll be doing after that... and Dave's parents are a lot older than mine, and his mum, especially, is getting older and frailer pretty rapidly... I like to make plans, but I'm realistic enough to know that they may well not happen :(

but at least Dave is up for moving, so let's just see what happens, eh? ;)

I know I've been quiet, but I wanted you all to be the first to know that....................

WE GOT THE VISA-->JUST TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been hell, but it was all worth it. :bonk:

Hope you are all FABULOUS!!!!

-->U.S. Wendy of the July filers!!!! :dance:

That's wonderful news!! Finally you can get on with your life together!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

The volunteer work varies from transportation (which I obviously can't do) to data entry and admin to selling merchandise so it is a mixed bag - I just checked all the boxes that sounded ok and that was it! I think it is based at the theater that is a couple of miles from me so I will have to check out buses but it will be nice to get out of the house - as long as I don't have to stand outside in this heat I should be fine!!!

Cool :D So when do you start volunteering? This week?

This week or next - I got an e-mail about an induction thing but Jeremy has just had a couple of days off so I haven't really looked too hard!!!

Our day in London was a whirlwind! Mostly spent in Wimbledon with Griff's son and his daughter. She's nearly one and a lovely little girl. It was our first time meeting and more than a bit awkward, but we got through it. We bonded a bit over the really awful Japanese dinner we all shared that evening! His wife is a chocolatier at the very posh Chocolate Society in London and she bestowed us with some decadent fresh chocolates that she made that same day. Scrummy in the extreme!

MMmmm - jealous of the real choc!! Hersheys do some cream-coloured wrappered chocolate that isn't too bad (ie better than the stuff in the dark wrappers) and it is a decent price -I can get hold of Lindt and all other manner of scrummy choc but we just can't afford that right now :(

you'll have to give me some pointers ;)

I thought Pointeen pointed :D

:lol: I have her nickname in my e-mail addressbook as "Pointy" now because of you Marta :lol:

I know; the combination is pretty inspired, but the drive-thru is genius :lol:

I spotted that when we were driving back from Austin weekend before last; I made Dave turn around so we could go back and get the shot :lol:

Hahaha :D Well I have finally got around to taking photos of the mess our house is in! Still no camera lead though and feel really loathed to stick the skanky old monitor on my new (albeit cheap) desk so I can use my puter... Hmmm some things just still need to settle down I think...

I get to go to an induction for volunteers next week - I'm going to *gasp* walk it as it is only 1.3 miles... Have bottles of water in the freezer as we type - think I will need them! I might see if Jeremy can pick me up though as I think walking back as well would kill me in this heat...

Oh and as a random aside, I had to change my moving date for my ticker to 31ST of JUNE so it would show the correct length of time I have been here... go figure :lol:
