Kuno, we haven't heard from you here in ages.

I don't feel able to make a conscious contribution today, so anyone post here and I will reply tomorrow.

If any of you have a balcony and like to drink wheat bear, I can recommend the combination on a sunny day like today.

Well I have a roof terrace, Kuno. Want to check it out. :)

Yes the wickerman is awesome.

P.S. I did already mention I was going all three days, didn't I?

*lol*

Runs to fetch markers and paints Kuno's face when he has fallen in a drunk-dreamy sun slumber.

So, can anyone give me a short explanation as to what, where, how much, when and any other question I might have forgotten?

*bounces*

I booked my ticket! Wanted to get a cheap price for once, so I booked it early.
I only booked the ticket to GET there for now, wanting to be flexible on time and place for my return trip. I'll be arriving in Aan's place on Thursday.

I think a day at your place sounds really nice, Sahi. After all, castle fest is a three day event and we don't need to be there all three days. I fondly remember the barbeque from two years ago, including the Three Rules of Skewer Making ^^

Haha! Okay, that's a very definite answer to that ^^

Rapalje will be there? That sounds good! Hopefully we can get Aan to watch the bags again, so there will be more dancing this time!
If I'm supposed to bring the bells, that means a jester outfit at least for one day. Hmmm.... *starts pondering over outfits*

Actually, the ninja I saw in the restaurant last time was really inspiring, I think. So easy and still so brilliant.

Even more..... I often left my bag with valuables in it (ergo... camera) and it always was right where I left it when I came back!!! But not on Saturday though.....(the leaving I mean.... not the being where I left it... *nods*)

Only one more week of painting and then the house is done and I can take out my sewing machine again. Can't wait to finish the clothes for my sister's wedding, I want to see if I'll have time enough for my other projects!

*crosses fingers and offers help*

Not with the wedding clothes of course, you don't want me near anything that needs to be really pretty....

Oh and by the way... I saw a very nice second-hand s... machine (still don't want to use the word for making clothes) for 125 euros... Am going to check that out further...

So, if I want to come, I should probably get a move on and start organizing this.
I've already been bargaining about vacation days with my mother, as I realized only this week that she'd planned to be in Sardinia until the Castlefest weekend. Now we should* get back early enough that I could catch a train on Thursday night.
Which still leaves a lot to be decided, like where I'll be staying...

*should meaning: if the car doesn't break down, there are no huge traffic jams, we don't lose track of time and leave a day late, and my mother doesn't decide she wants to stay longer and I have to go home on my own and get lost somewhere in the middle of Italy.

That's what I'm trying to decide. Until I knew for certain that we're going to Sardinia this year, I'd have said camping, but since Sardinia already means camping (we own a tent again! Yay!), and I'll be pretty much coming home, unpacking, packing, and leaving again, I think I might prefer sleeping in a house for a change.
The mention of biking to Castlefest is also very tempting... I might even risk being laughed at for being too short for your couch.

I suspected that, since I hadn't seen any mention of camping for a while. *goes off to ponder some more*

*giggles at the thought of camping in Sahi's yard*

I guess I'll just get a ticket for Castlefest soon, so I have to come, and leave the deciding-where-I-will stay until my brain is not dead from attempting to study and panicking over not studying.
