Sorry Dury, I didn't realise it had been quite so long - I still ahve my post to do but my dad has been very ill and I haven't been able to concentrate. But I can do it this morning I hope.

Please don't apologize! Nothing to apologize for. Only post if you want, when you want, etc! I've neglected the Downs in general lately... Anyway, it's just good to...'see' you? Haha.

And I am very sorry to hear that your dad is still doing poorly. My prayers are with you.

Gah ..I did the second part of this in the reply box not in word and have jsut lost it... could weep but too late here now to retype tonight. But I have posted teh bit I did do in Word before I lose my nerve ...

So sorry for the delay but I haven't felt up to it til now. Bereavement isn't conducive to creativity. Not over it but hopefully getting better at coping with it...

Nooooo...losing things tends to end with me screaming and throwing things

And please, no apologizing.

*hugs*

I would have done if I weren't so damn tired. I nearly did the same thing with my Measure of Success ramble but managed to get it back. My mother used to say the sign of an optimist was doing a crossword in ink - I am beginning to think doing a post of any length straight on reply is more so. gah and I was pleased with that bit too.. hopefully I will remember most anon.

Thanks for the hugs.. I do feel guilty. I love these characters and I feel I am letting them down as much as anything. Anyway... I'm getting my weird back

I'm looking at a map in the Atlas of Middle-Earth - Karl, Jessamy, and the non-responsive Edwin are heading south, right, from the Barrow-Downs, right?

South is actually toward the Old Forest - yes?

Just trying to clarify the "where" of the present plot . . .
