the last few weeks .....
..................................
Firstly Mr John Herd arriving from the US on the 16th Sept ....
and yes, I can confirm that he is indeeeeedy just as nuts offline
as online
.....
Then offsky we went to pick up Uuuuliet en route to Snowdonia
for a weeks R&R before the Gathering
....
Then on the 26th was indeeeedydooody the first ever official moooosive
Brainfog Snowdon Gathering ...... Foggers appearing in all kindsa
sleepy shapes n' forms allday ..... with the next four days shaping
up a lil' somefink like this ------------>

(ooooo and I should state here that them tears were mostly that
belonging to a moooose
...
and were v.v.v.v. happy tears at that
)
..... Then on the 1st Oct, most departed (squillions more tears)
leaving a v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v. happy moose, john, uuuuliet
n' a Dom to chill for a few more days in Snowdon town ..... horah

And
it was all more perfick than this moooose could ever have imagined
or possibly hoped for ...... Everything that could have gone wrong
... instead went perfickly right
....
so much so that on the 27th (the second day of the Gathering)
this mooose was already planning next years Gatherings between
her antlers

Snowdon by certain peeps without whom none of Snowdon would have
been possible
