It is fantastic to have news of you. I intend to keep my avatar until the situation is more satisfactorily resolved

HI! It's so good to see you here, and to know that you and your family are okay.

Thank you so much for keeping us informed. I can't say I'd blame you if you were too busy to keep web-pals up to date. But it is nice to have primary source reassurance.

For those of you who would like to read more about HerenIstarion's experiences in the current conflict in his home country, here is a diary that covers some of them: George's Georgian War Diary

I was very moved by what I read there.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-27-2008, 04:21 PM

Thanks for providing this for us, Esty.

Cheers, Esty! So has he sent his little one out of the country or has he kept his family close now things have calmed down?

The bit that had my hair standing on end was when he was saying about the axe and wondering whether to black out the windows of the cottage....

And then writing about how he'd had his old Astra repaired...so everyday (I know all about the trials of keeping old family cars running) but in the midst of fear.

I was going to say that I enjoyed reading HI's blog but I feel that 'enjoy' isn't really the right word. Impressed, certainly - he is a very brave and resourceful man.
I have encouraged other people I know to read it too.
I hope that the power-addicts will grow tired of playing their ugly political games, and that there will be a peaceful resolution for HI, his family and everyone else in that part of the world.
