I am working on multilingual horrors again... So much for it being gone for good! Still, this is at least being treated as a separate and well defined project...

Tonight I meet up with izzy_stradlin in London, before embarking on an excursion into deepest darkest Essex, where we will be both visiting her family and attending parts of the local folk festival...

In other news, I am no longer a car owner. Following an abortive attempt for them to ignore my collection instructions yesterday, the council people came to take the rusted hulk of my old Rover away this morning. They were supposed to phone the day before, so I could move the car out of the drive so that it wouldn't be stuck behind Richards. They didn't of course, and they turned up yesterday with no warning, prompting izzy_stradlin to tell them to come back today. Which they did. They even phoned beforehand, this time.

Bizarrely, I'd actually become quite attached to that car. I didn't get to use it a great deal, but I put quite a bit of effort into trying to get it roadworthy again. It also got me my driving confidence back, which after such a long break from driving beforehand was a good thing.
