Sunday
(2)The day started off with ominous signs as I left the house, a raven seemed to be calling a warning from atop the church...
Even when I arrived at the appointed place, I found nervous animals, disquieted by a change in the ether...
And then, suddenly, he was there! The rumours were true! He had returned and the room exploded into chaos!
In no time at all, he was back to his old tricks as though he had never left...
Andrew Dodge is back in London after his long exile in the colonies. God save us all!
But isn't London where he is really supposed to be; that's what he told JFM !!

Perry has no idea what he did with/to his camera to get that affect. Its quite startling. That dog ended up cowering under his master's chair.

Wow, and is that his lovely blog-bride he brought with him?

Just by looking at the photos, I think what happened is pretty obvious. In order to avoid Her Majesty's Immigration and Nationality Directorate, the crewpeople of the starship Enterprise agreed to beam Mr Dodge directly across the Atlantic. The glowing lights of the Transporter are clearly visible in the picture.

One is left to wonder about Ruth; has she not been reading Samizdata, before? One also has to wonder about Bruce's awkward silence; has he perhaps put his foot in it?

Don't I wish that were the case Michael. It took 10 months and lots of pain to get me back with all the proper paperwork.

Superb. Comments et al.
And... I too am immensely thankful at this success.

We here in New England are happy to see him shipped back to Olde England. It lets us rest easy that the children and livestock are reasonably safe, especially after the sun goes down.

Or the moon comes up, flargh?
Kidding aside, Andrew, glad to see you back in your heart's home.

Like Kathy, though we on the western side of the pond are now poorer by virtue of your absence, I am so glad to see you happy and home!
God speed, good man, and God bless!

The big question, or course, is whether Andy is still tied to his mother's apron strings.
