Hi, Jon

Cheers to you Jon for recognizing myself and our fellow Spherians in WORM 35. It's a strong issue. I definitely agree that workshopping here helps improve our works.

Congratulations to you, Jon, for publication of your poem in the issue, and thanks again to editor Maz Griffiths for producing such a fine zine.

All my best

Chris

Now, off for a beer or three in the baking sun with fellow Spherian and WORMian, Peter Richards! Cheers to you all!

Congratulations, Jon! You are now officially a bilingually published poet. I hope you enjoyed the beers with Peter and Jørgen. I received some cryptic sms from Jørgen and you two about apples pretty late in the night, so it seems it was a success.

(This would be the first "official" Eratosphere meeting on Norwegian soil, too, wouldn't it?)

What Rose says. Look forward to browsing the new issue which is certainly under excellent management. Editors of online or print mags deserve more bouquets than they usually receive.

Margaret.

Thanks, Svein!
You'll get a full update on our meeting in person!
I take no responsibility for any late night SMS activity.

Amen to that, Margaret! Thanks!
