On friday I had people round for dinner. I'd hoped to do something for Pippa, because she's lovely, hasn't seen my flat yet, and needs making well again, but she wasn't up to it, so the guest list seemlessly changed until I ended up inviting [livejournal.com profile] atreic and [livejournal.com profile] emperor and [livejournal.com profile] ewx and [livejournal.com profile] naath.

Unless they contradict me, I think it was very fun. People spontaneously praised the food, though there was slightly too much. We sent out for wine a couple of times and finished the last meadith mead. We had boisterous conversation, spending not too long on drama doom. We played Articulate, reasonably balancedly.

We played I Have Never, which was quite amusing, occasionally produced "Huh? Who are you two talking about?" looks, and "Wow, you *have* slept with 2/3 of the sgo" looks. I had more difficulty finding things I hadn't done, though once had to go kiss someone the next day to square things up (though I was good and that was the only kiss all day).

It was soon enough since the last time I had anyone round that I hadn't much tidying up to do before. There was bake left over which makes good breakfast.

Saturday was the big birthday party for [livejournal.com profile] lnr, [livejournal.com profile] mobbsy and [livejournal.com profile] damerell at the Cow, formerley the Red Cow iirc. It seemed to work out pretty well as a venue, there was enough room, and a dancefloor, and an open bar does simplify birthday alcohol!

I went on the dancefloor a couple of times, but still aren't accustomed to bopping. Probably because I only ever used to experience it when I went clubbing with people from school, which wasn't really ever that fun. I stole a few minutes of salsa and cha cha with amenable girls, but never really got into the swing of real music.

I met again several nice people I've seen around, and time flew past. I disappeared for the last half an hour of the round ceilidh, but didn't see anyone I knew there.

Happy brithday and thanks to the three of them!

I already blogged Sunday, didn't I?
