On the bright side

[liv]

There were several annoying things about this weekend, and a couple that were difficult, but I'm going to talk about the many excellent things.

I ended up making a semi-spontaneous visit to jack.

forestofglory has managed to overcome geography and is currently staying with jack, so I got to spend a bit of time with her! And she's coming to visit me here this week, so that's even better.

I watched the tail end of a rather tense Magic tournament chez alextfish and woodpijn. This also meant I got to meet their daughter, whom I hadn't seen since she was still ensconced inside woodpijn.

forestofglory took me along to Poohsoc where friendly people fed me teeeeeea.

Then she took us out to dinner at Sala Thong, a Cambridge institution I'd never managed to get to before this weekend. Through a combination of being sensible and sharing, we succeeded in trying lots of tasty things without ordering or eating too much food.

Sunday we had time for a walk along the river to The Plough, where we had a very tasty lunch, before forestofglory headed to a wedding.

Meanwhile jack and I went to a really excellent party chez illusive_shelle. I didn't really know anyone, even the hostess, but I had a brilliant time anyway. There was bbq, and all kinds of good side-dishes to go with it, and some very, very, very tasty cocktails, and good conversation and just the right amount of silliness. I'm particularly glad I finally got to meet illusive_shelle; she made a tremendously good impression on me. Not least because she appreciates teeeeea, or because she made a fairly simple breakfast for us on Monday morning which tasted like the food of the gods.
