Barbecue fun!
After a shaky start (bad sleep, Dad coming over to tell me that he lost his phone, ineptitude on the part of the Carphone Warehouse [if your customers need to talk to Vodafone at Carphone Warehouse, why give them the number to Vodafone?], indecision over cards), we got over to see ravenevermore and swiftangel. There was added delay as Haywards Heath was struck by lightning, preventing the London-Brighton trains from running their usualy route. Guess which platform we needed from Clapham Junction? Right...
But food! And alcohol! (Sloe gin and vodka with elderflower and tonic - mmm.) I swear that these things need to be recorded, if only to remember exactly who said what and when. There was laughter and noise and singing and VH1 showing 80 from the 80s and this morning there were acrobatic squirrels hoping for early nuts in the trees. I also got back 2.5 seasons of CSI, only to lend two of them to the_ladylark. Good job I've already seen them...
Have now caught up on LJ and Nifty (character death! Waaah!), and tomorrow I need to get ready to help train NewPerson (and possibly think of an LJ alias for him). And deal with Dad. Joy...
