Anyone from York dropping in to the Den over this weekend? How did Friday Night Live go? How’s Janette’s wheels? And have you all spent a fortune at the bar yet?
Say hi to all the Denizens and cloudies from me.

Good fun. John’s was easily the best but he didn’t win 🙁 Drank my way through a week’s pocket money on Friday. Bit green on Saturday morning. Enjoyable so far. Series of new 2 hour workshops called ‘labs’ this year. Went to Jail Duncan’s “World Building” and he still overran by 25 minutes. He used the f-adjective so many times that after the first hundred or so it just sounded like “um” or “you know” and disappeared. good fun this year but low on Cloudies and Denizens. Blog later.
A blog will be nice. I’ve missed catching up.
Looking forward to the blog. Missed the real thing. (Would never like to go to another of H Duncan’s workshops, if that’s who you mean, though I know some think they’re great.)
Specially sorry to miss John’s reading, which I can quite believe was the best, and seeing ‘Cloudies’/Denizens. Maybe next year. There’s been lots of ‘family stuff’ this year. Grandson now 8 days old.
Oh, what a shame for John. Hope he got some interest though from the agents? I don’t remember Hal Duncan using the f-bomb when I sat in his workshops a few years ago.
Fingers crossed that next year, I might be able to go again; currently in the throes of getting T ready for uni a week on Monday (a week earlier than we thought, thanks to Freshers Fortnight, not week) and J’s just heard that the uni will support her reduced credit year, so she goes back to Brizzle tomorrow…
Hil, this isn’t your first grandchild, is it? Was sure you had one already? How exciting for you though x
A blog will be very interesting. Thanks, Ath.
Blog, please, Ath.
Yes, HAL not Jail – never was great at typing onto a phone. Blog when my mind’s all connected back up and the M1 is out of my bloodstream.
Hal is the weegie, right? He cracks me up slightly & yeah, I remember some pretty fluent swearing going on.
Hurray for @johnt3 doing so well. I’m not surprised his reading was fantastic. 🙂
The scooter went very well, thanks, @squidge. I couldn’t have done York without it (and the help of our friend group, who were awesome). Debi created a messenger group to help us communicate (and so that I could call out for help when needed), which was a brilliant idea and worked so well, I think it should be repeated, injuries or not, next year. Thank you to everyone who helped, it showed me what a special group of friends I have. As for FNL, John was up against one of the strongest groups I’ve seen, but he was my favourite too and was easily the best reader. Looking forward to Ath’s blog and need to get York out of my system before I can start with the tweaking.
