Just a quick thing....

... to officially say hi to a recent addition to my flist - femsc! Some of you will already know Fran through my Facebook, but I wanted to introduce her properly.

In particular I think catwalksalone would enjoy meeting you, Fran! She recently began an eagerly awaited foray into the world of Archery!

I first met Fran when I was about five years old, when my parents threw a party for Dad's new classmates when he began his Theology diploma. I was holed away in the sitting room while everyone partied in the dining room, 'cause I'd been hit by a car on the way to school that morning. Fran was one of the few who took the time to come and say hello to the pathetic little creature whose face was so swollen she could only manage to eat savoury rice, with some warm lemon curd for pudding.

Oh and before I forget again; thank you to those who left me cute little gifts on my profile in the last little while, laylee and alryssa in particular. I am so crap at remembering to say thanks! *smacks hand*

You weren't pathetic at all. I think we were all horrified at what had happened, because you'd been running away from bullies at an age when you shouldn't have known the meaning of the word.

It was the start of a jolly good friendship, was that party. Your dad saw me through university and your mum saw me through all sorts of odd times including finding myself in hospital in Cardiff when I was supposed to be on my way to London. And I got myself the bestest bridesmaid, who put up with a home-made dress and a misbehaving hoop without complaint. Well, not at the time, anyway :)

Hee - I think I was so caught up in getting to be a bridesmaid for the first time that I figured I had to put up with that hoop ;-)

I had to be helped to the toilet because my own hoop wouldn't fit through the door! Still, it and the surrounding petticoat made an excellent privacy tent... :)
