again, i dont know what it is about being there at the ceilidh - i mean
in some ways its a little odd there - all the folk people of sheffild
turn out for this night etc but i just dont smile so much like i did tonight.
something basic, primitive, honest, real, open, pure, unpretentious that
make you feel at once at home there, that strangers are friends, and you're
free to dance with them, to twirl and skip, and do things you'd never
otherwise do with people you've never met before. a place where roles
are simple and clear, a place where no one judges - an awesome Godly experience
thats not about escapism from the world and people around you put is actually
completely entwined around them - social.

oh, and i've got the first 20 episodes of "the mysterious cities
of gold", that classic from our childhoods, at home, on the computer,
ready to watch...!...
