She's back. And so is the Viz'n'Val roadshow.

Hi Val! and anyone else listening!

Today is my 1 year anniversary at IUOMA! Hurrah! Who woulda thunk it? I'm still here!!

And I thought I'd inform you that it is Independence Day in Latvia, 18th Nov, so I had a nice bottle of Veuve Cliquot for the double celebration, and now I'm going to bed as it's about to become the 19th Nov in a few minutes.

Arlabunakti! I look forward to receiving my gifts from you in the mail!

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

and Happy Independence Day to Vizma, too!

[Valentine Mark Herman]

What a coincidence! Latvian Independance Day AND International Banana Appreciation Day AND Vizma's IUOMA 1st Anniversary!

That's almost too much for me to take in.

I'll try and get hold of a Belgian 'trippel' beer to celebrate later.

I hope you get out of bed safely and un-hangovered on the 19th Vizma.

Vizma, it's been a year and we STILL haven't met! My heart is breaking -- even though I managed to meet Suus, Katerina, Janine and Mail Art Martha in the last 12 months. The last 3 came to Sigean. When are you coming?

It could be your Mail Art Pilgrimage.

I'll wait up for you.

I think it's time for you lot to make a pilgrimage Down Under!

It's warm here!! (never trust anyone who says that while swimming, quickly swim in the opposite direction.)

[Valentine Mark Herman]

I tried swimming to Australia, once upon a time, but I had to turn back -- after 20 meters -- because I had forgot to put my trunks on and there were jellyfish about.

Next time, I'll prepare properly for a pilgrimage (Quantas?)...

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Now you've got your vacuuml cleaner sorted out, you are more than welcome to come and vacuum/hoover (J. Edgar)/clean my house. Thank you.

[vizma bruns]

There'll be no more J. Edgaring for several years, if you can wait that long. And even then I won't be doing yours!! You're welcome. 

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

OH Vizma, Veuve Cliquot ... you know just the right things to say.

[vizma bruns]

You like too, Dean!? All was well in the world after that bottle! Unfortunately I had to share...

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

Sharing is a wonderful thing and a good sign.  Was there smoke after?
