Reading

[lnr]

Just about finished packing. Have now added my glasto packing list to memories so next time I can find it more quickly. The one thing I seemed to forget this time was a torch. Current plan is to shower and change shortly, spend the afternoon quietly geeking, and head over to meet Mike at the station once he's finished work. Definitely looking forward to this, even if I am a little apprehensive: not done Reading before, and not met most of Mike's gang who'll be there.

In other news:

Nice lunch today with hairyears, simonb and ejde in The Bun Shop. I'd really like their portions of chips to be about half the size, but thankfully Nile helped eat a few of them. Work was productive again, as it has been most of the week, though I was a little tired.

Yesterday had lunch with Mike and sorted out train tickets, then had dinner with Richard at Charlie Chan's, which was nice, though downstairs definitely has a lot less class than upstairs. Came joint second-to-last with two other teams in the quiz. Should have taken Col's first guess at the number of pubs called The Crown in the UK at the end of 2002: he said 1000 and the actual number was 1002. Oh well, better luck next week. And then over to Mike's to help him dye his hair. It's very pretty :-)

Tuesday I worked later than usual because of the late start, which left a short afternoon. Had a very pleasant evening in with rjk and the crime telly anyway. And I think that's more or less where I last posted.

I'm sure you've seen the BBC reports, but just in case: torrential rain forecasted, make sure you have lots in the way of spare warm clothing, spare plastic bags, wet weather kit, etc etc.

Hope the forecast winds up being wrong!

Oooh, you drew a doll that actually really looks like you! Cool.

I do have waterproofs, lots of dry things, lots of binbags. Should be OK.

And I have another one as well! (which both kitty_goth & dogrando preferred, now there's a surprise :-) ).

Waterproofs & binbags++. Have a good time!

So where do you draw these icons then? I could do with a new icon or two...

This one came from here - there's other varieties of them (e.g. goth) on that site as well. Warning: takes bloody ages to download, do not attempt on dialup without good book to hand.
