Afternoons and coffeespoons

Spent most of the (long-ish) weekend staying with my parents, before heading up to Oxford for the tatmeet on Sunday.

Saw Sylvia (my best friend from school) on Friday night -- it was great to catch up with her, and reassuring to be reminded that even after months of not quite getting round to contacting each other we still feel like close friends once we start talking again. Rest of the time at home was spent talking, eating, drinking, listening to music, reading, and SLEEPING.

The tatmeet was well-attended: bopeepsheep, imc, smallclanger (of course!), lnr, brrm, nou, monkeyhands, J-P, rejs, sion_a, aendr, simoncozens, and Twofish. (Did I miss anybody? Apologies if I did!) Excellent turnout for a Deep Summer meet -- in fact that's probably more people than have posted to oxbridge.tat in the past year. The weather stayed good, it was lovely to meet smallclanger at last, and great to see everybody else again.

Feeling a bit too detached at the moment to write any more about Things That Happened. Other people have written more detailed accounts anyway.

The future is a bright?

This has just irritated me mightily.

No, they DO count as fish! Really! But only on Fridays.

Open-source for the gander: why geeks like their LiveJournal seasoned with sorrel.

Welcome, barnacle.
