My humor blog has been another week of Robert Benchley and some very slight other stuff. Also a joke based on a thing [personal profile] bunnyhugger has been facing. Want to read all about it? Here we go.


And now let me share a normal amount of pictures from the Fairy Ball last year.

Swordfighting at the Moon Grove! I don't know if this was merely a demonstration or if it was actually for some prize.

Much like a small convention they set up things like palm-reading booths and some vendor stations.


SAM_1178.jpeg

Some of the many signs made and not yet put up even as the event was under way.

This was a small circle very useful for navigating. The bike stand is on the right, with the Moon Grove below.

[personal profile] bunnyhugger examines the entry arch. Note the Christmas lights --- the fairy lights --- to line the path inside.

Drum circle that was going on as we went to walk the path through the woods.


SAM_1187.jpeg

There's the drummers on the right; I can't tell what's going on in the background. Hidden behind the trees was a crepes truck, though.


SAM_1188.jpeg

And here's the walkway. Those probably aren't actual ghosts draped up in the woods.


SAM_1189.jpeg

This seems like an unproductive bridge until you remember it's probably a lot of fun to ride a bike over.

Following the fairy lights through the woods here.

And we came out the path near the Moon Grove where, it happens, the wedding ceremony was going on, with the exit right behind, like, everybody. So, we stayed back rather than intrude, and maybe appeared as blurry visions in the background of other people's pictures.


Trivia: Greenland ice core studies indicate that between atmospheric lead levels rose from 0.5 parts per trillion to 2 parts per trillion in the first century AD, reflecting Rome conquering Britain and mining the island's lead.
