Sinister: Tune all your voices and instruments play

Sinister Picnics: this is a fabulous idea, even if I will propbably have
to skive off college to go.  Where would the London one be held?  Where
were those ones which the David/Katrina unit used to go to?

Definitely.  Perhaps we could get Sonia to do some B&S covers.  "You're
Just A Baby" would seem appropriate.

I shall bring chocolate Rice Crispie thingies and lots of sweets of the
acidic and delicious variety.  B&S picnic menu!  Let's go!

	And now for something completely different:

	"Children's" authors I still love:

		Diana Wynne Jones: real people in *kiddy* literature!
Whatever next!
		
		T.H. White: anyone who's read Mistress Masham's Repose
or The Sword In The Stone (not just a Disney cartoon, surprisingly) will
understand.
		
		Joan Aiken: Dido Twite is simply the coolest girl ever.
		
		Roald Dahl: he's still great, despite being dead.

	Enough rambling already.

           ByeBye,
                      Liz.

Love without hope, as when the young bird-catcher
Swept off his tall hat to the Squire's own daughter,
So let the imprisoned larks escape and fly
Singing about her head, as she rode by.
