yes indeed!
if you've never heard one before, allow me to describe the experience:
to start it off, we had just viewed Cloverfield , and when we got outside, the sky looked soooo weird, all cloudy, but the clouds were scooped out or something... awesome in itself. it was humid and windy, not too cold, and thundering/lightning-ing(?). I could feel the electricity in the air, in a breathless sort of way. I climbed up onto the table to get a better view, and stayed there for almost an hour. at one point, I swear there was a pentagram in the clouds, so I greeted the Lady. not soon after (or before, or during, I can't remember which), the bats came out to hunt. at first, I didn't notice, for I often wonder if I've finally fallen off, and then I realized what I was hearing. It grew louder as the bat flew closer, filling my mind with it's beautiful noise. as it flew away, my ears were almost ringing, and I wondered if it was still calling or if I was imagining it.
probably both.
and as for theDanger Dame Veronica Varlow, I was very saddened to read this . (ahem! I'm talking about the second one!) and am very proud to have contributed to this, though not directly.
I sent her a letter with the aforementioned money in a second envelope.
I dearly love her, and hope she feels much, much better in the coming times.
we love you, V!
