Today's post has been brought to you by a lot of walking around. The meet was smaller than expected, but quite nice. Started at the Panton where "I have never" was played. I'm quite glad for my ability to sip shots at this point. Thence to the Saffron where the food was, as always, sublime. Then to Rosie's where we drank Lingonberry liqueur ( Read more... )

I'm about to wander off to CCDE, with a Ben and a Maaike in tow. Yay! Seeyas after the weekend then.

Ah, Sundays. We had intended to meet up with people at the Natural History Museum at 2pm. So, we headed for the station in time for a hypothetical 12.45 train. So far, so good. There was no 12.45. The 13.15 was late, but we took that anyway. Fine. King's Cross tube station was closed, so we walked to Euston, which was closed, so we walked to ( Read more... )
