But you look good there! Clearly not too many drinks, yet.

No we (ha! they) don't! The teachers and parents who are supervising there are probably drinking more.

Miggy's photo reminded me of this ball we had at school last winter (the same one Lommy and Volo attended a year ago in case anyone remembers). So here comes...

PS. I'll buy a beer to the one who guesses which 'Downer my partner is. (In case you come to Finland, that is.)

Might take you up on that beer some time because I do know who that dashing young, uhm, man is. Hardly need to spell it out do I?

This post goes with my post in the assign to the shire thread. I mentioned I had pictures and I do. These were all taken after the party. I do not have any from before the party when I looked even more like mobster because my hair was wet and I was less tired.

You Hakon should call PJ to get enlisted to the possible Shire-scenes of the Hobbit movie!
