Things got better after I left the uni.
Went to Jenny's and phoned the contact for the QC meeting (James), so they knew I was coming. and then went to the station. Though I'd just missed one train to Sydney, the next, in 40 minutes only got in 10 minutes later at central. I went to Cardiff library and borrowed something to read, and then had a Egg & Bacon roll in an arcade.
I had a chat with the guy who ran the take-away there (Gerry) and when he heard that I had Muscovy drakes he was interested. He has Muscovy ducks and will come over Saturday afternoon and pick one of my drakes to take (yay!).
Got to the QC meeting just at the end, and though there wasn't really much to discuss, I touched base and that was really important. Travelled with James on the bus to Newtown (we chatted about Mardi Gras, mutual acquaintances and bi-folk) and then caught a train (which came almost immediately) to Stanmore where I visited
_blubloo_ and
zelieq for a bit. Good to see them again in person, and nice to see their share house has one or two more bits of furniture.
Didn't get home until 1:10 this morning. Fed the pets and brought Xena inside. Couldn't get to sleep so I watched the first episode of Angel, season four. Gasp, what a long day, but it ended well, and that's what counts some days.
