incandescensLet's see. This weekend, there's the Rock, Gem & Bead Show in York, which is small but usually has some nice stuff, and can be combined with a bit of pleasant shopping in York.
Next weekend, it's the Knitting and Stitching Show in London, in Alexandra Palace (Ally Pally), and I have a ticket booked, and the train tickets already bought.
The weekend after that, I no doubt clean and tidy a lot, and buy last-minute presents.
And the weekend after that... I go to America. Whee!

"He took offense?" said Athos.
"He beat the messenger?" said Porthos.
"He took the money?" said d'Artagnan.
"You have guessed right, d'Artagnan," said Aramis.
