Yes, happy belated birthday to Annie four days ago, Zambezi_Bushbaby yesterday and advanced felicitations to the mighty Tortoise tomorrow. Who are all these people? Is that mike still on? Oh goo---

Here's my date, if only for want of your lovely English Battenberg cake. (I purchased 6 -- YES 6! -- packages of the mini Battenbergs at ASDA at the end of the Ffiesta. Ate most of them before we even got back to the US. Bob & @#$%& helped a little, but mostly, it was me.)
25 Jan. 19**
BTW, I'm fairly new to the fforum. Don't know who many of you are. I'm Mary of the Mary/@#$%&/Bob group from Rhode Island.
The ffiesta is the most fun of all the fun there is to be had. Imagine crazy mad people who love books and words in one place for one week-end with Jasper . . . . everyone save your pennies for the next one.
Oooh, can I come next year? Is there going to be one next year? I've already recruited an accompanying person (who loves the Nursery Crimes books) just in case.
Egon.
