Only two days to go to the Festival and looking out the window I can see that some of the people in the lower down have all ready started putting together kindling for the bonfires. And I still don't have a speech!

At this rate I'm going to get up there and say something idiotic like "Happy Beltane everyone", which is a nice thought I suppose, but people expect something a bit more...regal. I may have to give up on that.

I feel more normal on my feet now, and thank God for that, people were certainly going to notice something was not quite right...

I can only hope this book doesn't decide to toss me into the Nexus again, I certainly don't need any more...unpleasant surprises.

And maybe I shouldn't have written that down.

I'm going to stop writing now.
