Somehow, I knew Dai wasn't joking when he said he'd post the solution 
to the crossword on this list.  With that and Joy's hats, we've 
reached new heights of obscurity on this list!

Dai is, I should add, the same person who attended yesterday's London 
gathering of five HPfGU listmembers wearing a curtain... sorry "a 
magical cloak".   

It was really nice to see people in the flesh, so to speak.  Heather 
Mbaye had come all the way from the US *and* she came with gifts: 
pint glasses marked with the Hogwarts crest and the promise of a 
handcrafted wand each (I expect an owl delivery, of course).  

Food Facts: Heather declared lemon sherbets to be similar to 
Lemonheads but with a crunchy coating instead of a firm but biteable 
one.  She also declared British pizza the worst she'd ever had.  

We took a few photos on Heather's camera, which she has threatened to 
post here.  

I was impressed by the fact that Dai came up from Southampton and 
Simon from Oxford.  Michelle didn't have so far to come, but still 
much further than me (I work near Oxford Circus, where we met... a 
curious coincidence).

It was fun, and next week I'm meeting a bunch of New York list 
members for more of the same.  I'd better sharpen my axe.  

And then... it's just the other 1050 of you to meet and I'm done <g>.
