Real Life/Real Death update

For those who've been wondering about where I've disappeared to so suddenly, the short version is: first I was busy excavating - perhaps a bit busier than I had expected to be, and too tired, most evenings, to do much on line. What little time I had apart from work I spent mostly with tiniago, and beebee852001, when she was available, and sometimes with the folks of the brumscifisoc. My days here in Birmingham are numbered, and the number is very small by now, so RL friends beat internet, for now. I'll be back in Frankfurt, and back to broadband ;-) in about three weeks, so never fear you will lose me.

In a less pleasant vein, there was also a sad reason for my more recent absence here: my grandma has died, and I've been busy organising a sudden trip to Germany for the funeral, and I've only just returned from that.

I'm fine, though, don't worry about me. I'll just continue to be absent here for a little longer, 'cause I'm rather busy still, both with fandom stuff and with RL stuff.
