event horizon

summer campA week on, I've finally finished uploading all my photos from TWSC to flickr - you'll find them here. I've illustrated this post with one of [livejournal.com profile] alicephilippa's photos though, because it's of [livejournal.com profile] ramtops and me and is pretty much as wonderful as last weekend was. Summer Camp helps keep us functioning and at least roughly within hailing distance of sanity for the rest of the year: thanks once again to [livejournal.com profile] geoffcampbell and Sheena for letting us all invade.

In worse news, we're increasingly worried that, only the week after Pepper was killed, we've lost another cat: we've not seen Aliss since we got back :( She's not normally been one to wander for long periods, though who knows what the disruption of losing a Tribe member (and us being away for three nights) might have triggered in the brooding insanity of her mind. Hopefully, she'll beetle in completely unconcerned some time soon; it's hard not knowing, though. ETA@8am Sunday and beetle in, chirping, is just what she did this morning :)

Finally, via [livejournal.com profile] sheepthief, a rare link to the Torygraph and a piece on Kate McAlpine's Large Hadron Collider Rap, which is as excellent as a very excellent thing indeed. Recommended, and about as stereotype confounding (on all sorts of levels) as anything could be.

Pete, trust me when I say we couldn't do it without you (and especially your help with catering Friday night), and all your comments about sanity and R&R count doubly for us.

I'm so sorry to hear that Aliss is still missing in action. I'm always inclined to the view that cats will often go Walkabout for long periods of time without explanation, and re-appear suddenly with equally no explanation, so let's hope she's just sunning herself on a beach somewhere for a while. Fingers crossed for you.

That's a lovely photo.

IHTS it was wonderful to see the pair of you looking relaxed after the trials of the year.

I do hope Aliss turns up soon.

fingers crossed that Aliss has just moved in nearby temporarily
