Botley crew

[j4]

Whew! Sorry it's taken me so long to get round to posting this announcement, but addedentry and I are now officially resident at:

Flat 6
Elms Parade
Botley
OXFORD
OX2 9LG

[How to find us: google maps]

And I'm coming up to the end of my second week at UCISA.

I'll post more when I get time, but in summary: the flat is spacious, quirky, rather noisy, and full of boxes and badgers; the job looks set to be varied, challenging, and interesting (but is currently feeling quite overwhelming); and Oxford is much as it always was, which is great.

There will be a proper housewarming towards the end of January, but in the meantime, visitors are always welcome (provided they don't mind boxes).

And if anybody feels like giving me a crash course in Zope/DTML (yes, I have found the Zope book) I will pay them generously in beer or equivalent local currency.

I'll come along next week if I can! Just let me know where & what time...

Wed 6.30-8.30, at Orchard Meadow Primary School (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=sawpit+road+blackbird+leys+oxford&ie=UTF8&z=16&ll=51.72417,-1.199291&spn=0.005809,0.021629&om=1). Parking available, or it's two minutes' walk from a bus stop.

Cool -- looks easy enough to get to (am I right in thinking the number 5 goes from the station to BBL?). If I've got over the cough/cold I seem to have picked up, I will come along on Wednesday!

Excellent! Yes, the 5 goes from the station up to BBL. You can always give me a call if you get any problems with the geography but it's pretty walkable from all of the stops on the estate TBH. (If in doubt hang on until you get back around to the beginning of the estate and get off there; it's just a short walk back along Cuddesdon Way.)

If you're feeling ok to go out but have little/no voice, do still come along; I think Andy (Choir director) would be pleased to see people anyway, and you can get a feel of what we're like.

Oh, I should tell you which stop you want really, shouldn't I?

Best stop for Sawpit Rd is on Balfour Rd, the stop immediately after the shops. IIRC you pass Sawpit Rd/the RC church just before it; if not, it's just after it. Walk up Sawpit Rd and the school's fairly obvious on the right. If you reach Cuddesdon Way/the park you've gone a little too far. ;-

Thank you for all the directions! I am going to try to come along tonight but I'll have to see how I feel when the time comes -- I'm still feeling pretty rotten off and on. :-/
