Conference over

And it was, overall, a good one.
(Though I was somewhat narked that both kinds of edibles at the closing reception had cheese in - honestly, who puts cheese in a chicken pasty thing? I don't even - so I couldn't fill up on those. Was obliged instead to have a v indifferent meal at a place I had noticed in the next block to the B&B, having nixed the idea of hanging around as people drifted off to dinner in hopes of an invite: I have heretofore expressed my views about after-conference dinners in large groups, which are along the lines of, I am getting too old and cranky and hard of hearing in crowds.)
Heard some interesting papers, had some good conversations (I even managed to initiate a few, which is a thing I seem to get no better at with age) - and being fangirled and having one's work cited never ever gets old. (Also had at least 2 people fangirl my green-streaked hair.)
