		<description>I&#039;ve just returned from the wilds of Darkest Norfolk, where there is no internet, to find a sudden spate of comments on my blog. &#039;What happened?&#039; I wondered - for about a minute - and then I realised... :)

I&#039;ve now learnt my lesson and taken the comment filter off, so noone will have to wait three days for me to approve their comments any more. :)

Mm, lazy afternoon in a cafe sounds so lovely. Maybe one with a great pile of cushions and a big window where we can sit and watch the world go by.

&lt;cite&gt;Kate did her introvert-in-a-large-group thing: get really quiet.&lt;/cite&gt;

I really did! I&#039;m not normally quite *that* quiet. I was more or less running on empty that whole week, and half way through the evening I suddenly found I barely had the strength to sit up! But it was wonderful nonetheless to sit there and listen to everyone, especially as I knew I didn&#039;t have to feel guilty about being quiet and tired, because I was with people who would understand. Hurrah for being allowed to be where you are.

&lt;cite&gt;I did my introvert-in-a-large-group thing: be obnoxiously charming and tell stories and ask questions and play with my hair so no one will notice that I am an introvert and now I have to interact with a group.&lt;/cite&gt;

I do this sometimes too. :) Really takes it out of you, eh?

And thanks for the web stuff mention. Lovely Havi-readers, you are just the kind of people I love to work with!

		<description>I totally think that the cafe was named after Selma! There looks like there is a lot of good stuff here. Thank you.

And I hope your hurtey arms get less and less hurtey.

		<description>If I ever was to move to the USA, Portland would be *very* high on the list of cities I would consider.  But since that&#039;s not likely to happen, it is very high on the list of US cities that I want to visit.  Up there with Taos! ;)</description>

		<description>&quot;Not being the big hippie anymore&quot; is *exactly* how I felt after moving to Boulder from Oklahoma (and, before that, Texas). I know exactly how nice it feels, and I&#039;m still sort of enthralled with that feeling.

		<description>Shucks! I love that you called me a &quot;sweet goofball genius with a camera&quot; -- that&#039;s exactly what I want to be. I have to put that on my website -- with your permission, of course.

We&#039;d love to bring you as our guest at Selma, which -- as far as I&#039;m concerned -- IS named after your Selma.
