Notice of Absence, Stage One
Aug. 21st, 2008 10:29 amToday, I'm starting out on the first leg of my vacation -- going north to my parents' place because I have a dentist's* appointment tomorrow. I'll be there until Sunday very early in the morning. On account of the second leg, I'm not taking the computer, but unless something intervenes ISP-wise, I can borrow the computer there and be online -- in moderation, and intermittently, and accounting for kids and teeth and meals and walks and stuff.-
On Sunday morning, my mother and I leave very early for Verona, Ravenna and Mantua**, as had been planned since Christmas -- I am madly looking forwards to that! Fauns and Ostrogoths, Ostrogoths and Fauns, and some Romans and opera and generally other cultural stuff in between, too. I might find an internet café there to get online briefly, or I might not.
So, I'll take my main charries out of my games -- Andras in Morningstar Manor is going to SFo for the opening of an exhibition, and afterwards goes to see Eamon; Teja in Milliways goes with Demeter to her house in Provence because he wants some landscape to roam free in after the unnerving cooped-up-ness of the combined dough/jungle plot.
Don't burn down the Manor or the bar***, and if anything remarkable happens in either, or the online world at large, please comment on this post or the one I'll put up on Saturday evening saying 'Me go poof nao!', and I'll attend to it either from an internet café out there, or when I get home, at the very latest.-
*Why is my dentist 500 km away from where I live? a) The dentists in Munich are all monsters! b) It's the successor of the dentist that originally did the work, many years ago, that has now become manky and must be replaced.-
**Going south again and passing Munich, which is ineffective, but unavoidable due to dentist-ness.
*** Especially not the forge, please, which is a fiery place anyway! ;=)
