(Your presence would be reasonably welcome, of course, as his caretakers... )
He already thinks (knows?) he's centre of the Universe He has a knack of blowing raspberries at all the right moments so he would be a little comedian too.

However, I would like to show him off, I admit that You can even buy baby sized Tolkien t-shirts so he'd fit right in. He needs to be Tolkienised as he's just a Whovian at the moment, he goes quiet and watches the TV as soon as he hears the sound of the Tardis or the theme tune (which is very cool).

But it would all be a logistical nightmare right now!

One Oxonmoot friend whom we met last year joined the Downs afterwards - poison ivy. She suggested that some of us meet on Thursday evening for supper - that would be a great opportunity for a Downer get-together. I don't know if any programme is planned for the evening, but for those of us who will be there by then, let's try to meet! I suggest around 6pm at the registration area; should anyone else have another idea, please post here soon. Who will be able to come then? Hookbill, Rune, narfforc, are you planning to come on Thursday? Guinevere, you'll be there by then, IIRC - are you game? Squatter, Mithalwen - anyone else who will be there?

Any objections to bringing along others, should we come across friends who are alone in Oxford?

Thumbs up
Sounds good to me, Esty. I am planning on going punting with a friend on Thursday, so I'll have to actually make some 'official' plans for that and decide a proper time and place. Should only be an hour, because its darned expensive.
