  Thanks everyone, we had a really good night, and we drank
  the toast at 7:55, and another one at 8:05, just to make sure!

  Julie was in a happy mood, although she may well have lost
  most of her family last night, apart from one sister who was
  df'd as a teenager and had the good sense never to go back
  to the watchtower. Her brother phoned her on her mobile to
  express his feelings about her "disgrace" as he called it, so
  she won't be seeing much of him from now on. No matter, the
  way Julie looks at it is that she may have lost him, but she's
  gained a lot more.

  We drank toasts to Randy Watters, Danny Haszard, Quotes,
  silentlambs, and all of you at JWD, who have all had a part in
  Julie breaking free of the watchtower. Julie wanted to play a
  special song for the occasion, and asked me to post a link to
  it. It's Chimes of Freedom, by Bob Dylan, which contains this
  line, kind of appropriate

  Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake
  Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned an' forsaked
  Tolling for the outcast, burnin' constantly at stake
  An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

  Well done Julie. Being df'd will be the best thing that has ever happened to you. It is definitely the best thing that has happened to me.

  Here's to freedom.

  I don't know what time it is there right now, Trev. But surely I have missed the original toast.

  But here is a late one.

  It's almost 11:30 am here Jeff, the morning after the night before
  for Julie. She was a bit tipsy last night, and just may have reached
  for the paracetamols this morning - we haven't heard from her yet.
  Her bf and herself are having a few days holiday, so they have plenty
  of recovery time
