A sad decision

After a lot of deliberation, I've decided not to go to that pagan festival this year.

Not that I don't want to, but the "margins" for error are just too close this time around. I had a couple more bills come in today, and I can pay them (just) if I stagger things out for the next month. Also, finding a suitable house sitter is harder than I thought. Rather than rush into this with no allowance for problems, I'd rather do this right. That means instead, planning to attend the festival next year. If I do that, I think it would be a much better outcome all around.

Not an easy decision to make, and there are other reasons that i haven't disclosed here that have influenced me in this, though they might seem odd or otherwise strange if I mention them. All you have to know, is that I have good reasons behind this.

Having said that, I am still very disappointed.

Jenny's OK (phew)

I took Pegasus out for a walk early this morning, and when I got back, phoned Jenny's number. She's OK.

Seems she was taking a nap when I called yesterday afternoon, and later, because she was having trouble with the modem on her PC, phone calls wouldn't get through (argh). I'm off in a minute to help her sort out her PC and modem troubles.

Necropolis Moved

Well, I had a phone call from Karl to say that Necropolis had moved from the Cambridge to The Lucky Country(1 Crown St, Newcastle). Something about a last minute cancellation - the management of the Cambridge have just shown what bastards they are.

I hope the folks I know coming up from Sydney have been informed about this.
