hi everyone

! earlier in this thread, molly told erisian to tell me to come in and say hi. erisian explained why that might be difficult for me, so i won't repeat it, but he passed her message to me, so here i am! you're all so generous with wishing us luck for the future, and it's nice to see you haven't forgotten all about me even if i haven't been on for ages. thanks, people! it's very much appreciated.
since i can't use my computer at the moment, the only gimping i get to do is some stuff i've done for work. i got to make the poster for our bazaar, for example, and was very happy with the result - just wish i could show you! it featured a scanned in painting by one of our users.
apart from work i've been busy preparing for erisian's move to sweden and my older brother got married in july, so the whole family was taken up with preparations, taking care of the chinese guests, and of course by enjoying the whole thing. right after that i went to england to see erisian and we had a great time. i wanted to reply to you all in person, but my time's up for now, so i'll just say it's nice to be here again, i took a quick look around and enjoyed seeing the activity!
