mattpBefore I forget I just wanted to documented my social movements last week. Saturday was a party chez ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
saintmaryuk - I took an early train from London and arrived around 1330. Was excellent to catch up with people. Had lunch in the nearby pub and after still being a little bit hungry, pondered the ettiquette aspects of ordering a second meal for oneself in a pub/restaurant. Is it such a social faux pas, or would they just be happy for the additional business?
One thing I love about gathering such as these is the diversity of topics covered in conversation. More for myself than those reading this post, but I made a list of things to research when I've got some time:
Book reviews to read: Big lies to tell small children, Chambers dictionary of etymology, Heavy words lightly thrown
Leglistion to read: Regulation of investigatory powers act, mantrap law
Also metda_pol, another name I'd seen around on my flist quite a bit.
Got dropped home and spent Sunday packing and came back to London Monday with enough weight that I could still feel the effects on Wednesday. I had a rucksack on my front, one on my back, a shoulder bag and I was carrying a box. It took me about 30-40 mins to walk from Holloway Rd tube station to my place - I normally do it in about a third of that.
Just a few items of crap to bring back - maybe I can persuade an ex colleague to give me a lift next time he's got a job in London :-)
On Wednesday I went ringing again withmrk and helped out with some of the learning band. At some stage I'd like to run a theory course (or couple of sessions), because I think some of them are struggling because they don't really know what they're doing and have no "mental hooks" to place things on. He seemed to approve, but it'll wait until the new year. (After all, that's only 8 days away. Well, 11 as it was then)
