kitty_goth & I were delayed by an accident on the M40 meaning that the Ox Tube was slower than usual; so by the time we'd arrived, had dinner, & had a couple of pints with my friend Richard in the Gloucester Arms, we didn't actually reach the Randolph till around 2200. This was, in fact, about right timing, though - got in a couple of hours of wandering round in Posh Frock & mask (cheers
angelmine for mask-loan!), danced for a bit (and then remembered that Posh Frock, whilst v nice, is not all that when it comes to, ahem, retaining one's modesty when dancing energetically, i.e. e.g. viz. Escaping Breasts. Oops), and then sodded off home when they finished the music at midnight. Posh Frock can now go back into retirement for another 4 yrs or whatever, I suppose.
marnameow & I went round to visit
dr_meg &
angelmine & chat about assorted & various things; then later on we decamped to St R for a bit. I stayed for nice curry before heading back home to spend the evening watching
Princess Mononoke with Pete. Which is v good indeed & I thoroughly recommend.
( Snowboarding! )( PWEI )Yesterday a nice chap came round to put concrete all over the floor; today he is putting Marmoleum (lino stuff) on top of that. This is v exciting, no, honest. As a result the kitchen smelt funny so P took me out for dinner. Splendid. The Italian round the corner is really quite nice.
Many of the above activities involved Trains. Trains are ace. I point you at
this post here of
dogrando's where he recommends mailing your MP about the Railways Bill, under discussion tomorrow.
