Burning the Candle

Whew. What a week. This is not burning the candle at both ends. This is also holding it over a flame in the middle. I am full to the brim with excitement. And exhaustion. I am still trying to figure out where to start and what to write at all, so this quick post is actually a bit of a placeholder (or teaser?) of things to come.

In the past eight days I have kept Ryanair afloat,  single-handedly, supported the UK economy (particularly the sandwich shops and coffee chains), done some emergency shrining, kept a few of the red seats of the Old Vic theatre bum-warm, met lots of wonderful people and made a quick sidetrip to my favourite music festival. Oh, and I have seen RA three times on a stage. *eeeek* Do I have a life? Yes, more than ever!

So here’s what’s to come – and most logically probably in chronological order [preliminary plan]:

1. An Unexpected Journey to London
2. [ETA] The Crucible Second Time Round
3. [ETA] Changes in Fangirling
4. An Expected Journey to a Conversation with RA
5. “We shall burn together” – The Inofficial Fan AGM
6. [ETA] Wide-Eyed “Collateral” – an exhibition review
7. A Final Review of TC times 3
8. Musings on the Stage Door

I may intersperse it all with a bit of shrine love – four in total to display here.

Just to put you out of your misery: I still have another candle burning for Mr A. I may be mad, I may be exhausted. But I am still impressed by the man. Or more than ever? And not least because of the great experiences he has unwittingly allowed me to have. If this admiration should ever wane (which it usually does for me, after about two years – and so it is high time to do so…), I shall always be grateful to him just for having provided me with so much fun, joy and sheer love of life. The summer of love is coming to an end. But boy, was it a summer…

Back with more, soon.
