HOJ – Biding

Hello, hello, welcome back. Although I suppose I’m not the one who should be saying that.

It’s been a very busy month and a bit here. Some things that have happened . . .  Lots of singing, (Storm the Palace, yay!) lots of practicing. Jalpeno and I went to see Tori Amos perform in Glasgow which was awesome. She can play two pianos at once while singing and of course sounds brilliant.

There was so much more but I have been working or tired for a lot of it so cannot necessarily remember it very well. It’s been fun though.

I had a short piping gig where the guy who hired me didn’t know where the restaurant he wanted to march into was in the hotel so we did a nice tour of two floors before he finally realized he should have followed me in the first place.

We had a baby shower for Renaissance which was excellent and involved Magic Mike.

Dangerous Beans has been very busy dominating the neighbourhood and escorted me on a small portion of my walk back from town today. She kept hiding behind hedges and under cars and jumping out at me then running away with her tail all excited.

Huge congratulations to Rogue who is publishing her first book! You can find it HERE. Read and review, peeps! (Spoiler: It’s good).

The dragons at Ancient Spren have been getting into Christmas mode. We had our big designer collaboration launch the other day and the armor sold out in a matter of hours. Only a few security guys got fried trying to control the queues outside our stores. I was lucky and didn’t have to speak to any of the dragons in question. The other day I was talking to a rather nice lady dragon whose pet cat kept walking across her keyboard, making her already difficult typing trickier, and meowing loudly at inopportune times. I don’t suppose it comes as a surprise that cats and dragons get along well.

We have been having trouble with our delivery pegasii in France. They keep picking random drop-off points hours away from where the dragons requested the parcels be delivered and then refusing to retrieve them. We may have to bribe them with magic bean dust but then the majority of them will become addicted and, well, we know how that ended last time . . .

Here’s a picture of the view from the top-(ish) of New Town. It’s actually the Kingdom of Fife you can see beyond that church tower but my phone camera isn’t strong enough to really make that clear. It was a lovely fall day.
