Ah! And after all that, The Sting is actually on TV tonight. Oh well, I'm still glad I ordered it.

I was going to go walking with Becky and people yesterday. I got a rucksack ready the night before with water, crisps, map, cups, doodling paper, but on my way to the station -- setting off 40 minutes before the train -- my bike chain snapped. Doh!

OTOH, I was a bit tired, so maybe it was best that I had some recovery time instead of a walk half way from Ely. I went a little walk myself for a couple of hours because the weather was so nice, and spent most of it on the phone to mum, which was lovely.

Last night sonic, mobbsy, ceb and ian, Becky and ewx came round to play with the helicopter. It was spontaneous but very jolly. We opened some of the wine I had left -- we found some nice champagne I don't know where from -- and that people brought, and some of Mobbsy's remaining walking snacks.

I feel good, for threee nights in a row I've been out with friends without any worries, it's been uplifting. It was good company, thanks for coming! Though I need to get some more stuff done today.

Everyone got the hang of flying, though because it is very tricky to even take off and land without munging something, I had to annoy everyone by lecturing them before they began, and everyone landed awkwardly nearly as much as I first did. But "oohs" were had by all.
