Dear friendslist

[wiseheart]

Where are you all gone, fellas? Have you died, fallen ill, got eaten by Real Life or migrated from LJ elsewhere? I still remember the time when one had to check LJ almost on the daily basis to keep up with the lives of one's friends. Now it seems that most of you got eaten by a big, blue space yellyfish, and nobody thought to send me the death certificates.

Come on, folks, spring starts tomorrow, rise from your tombs! The people in Romania will pin the mârtisors on their jackets (small, flower-shaped broches with colourful ribbons) to remember everyone that spring has come again. So finish the hibernation act and drop in for our very own little spring festival! I can't offer much more than a warm welcome because I am being eaten by Real Life right now, but you will be most warmly welcome, for sure!

Thank you! I totally agree: having good people to work with in a friendly atmosphere is extremely important. And I have always been quite picky about where I want to live, though people kept being shocked about how quickly I had found and bought a house in Belfast. To be honest I liked it pretty much as soon as I walked in the door, and looking around just confirmed my opinion. I did get a survey done -- it was one of the conditions of getting a mortgage, but I would have anyway -- and was rather worried they would find something that meant it wasn't a good place to buy. The one thing it lacks to be my dream house is a suitable space for a library, but then my living room usually looks quite a lot like a library with bookcases covering most of the walls...
