Today I have been getting ready to go and do some rune readings up in Hay which is holding it's Winter Fayre tomorrow. Am really looking forward to it because I get to spend most of the day in Adele's gorgeous shop, Spellbound, which is in the little lane opposite the main car park.

Mr Penry has hinted he may come with me, and now that I have made a new notch in his trouser belt I may well agree to this. For those reading this who find that last bit baffling, I have to say here that Mr Penry's trousers have lately been very susceptible to gravity, especially since he appears to have lost a few inches from his waist.

In fact, this week I have suspected that many of the comments about the 'greatest full moon of the year/decade/ever' may be a reaction to the time Mr Penry's trousers fell down when he was putting up a nesting box.

Alas for the full moon, our sky is full of clouds. Unless the wind carries them away pretty sharply, we shall only feel the moon's energies. But never mind. We know she's there, and she, in return, knows we're here.
