jackI had a really great party on Saturday. Thank you ever so much to all the people who came, especially those who helped out, and those I hadn't expected to be able to come, but made it anyway.
There were just over 30 people, representing a real cross-section of my friends, but who amazingly seemed to all get on really well and not feel left out. And I'm glad so many people got to meet liv, if only briefly.
There was a variety of interesting alcohol, including mead (thank you Ian) and desert wine (thank you Richard), an entirely different collection of which was left at the end than was present at the beginning :) There seemed to be just about the right amount of snacks laid in: lots of snacks, but about half way through people suddenly got ravenous and dived into the fruit and hot savoury snacks and Pavanne's beautiful food.
Unfortunately, I started feeling really ill about half way through, either from pushing myself too hard all week or from something I ate. If I seemed a quiet, it was because I felt really tired, but wanted to keep socialising, and was very grateful I could conveniently just sit and enjoy conversations without having to shepherd them :)
I also had a great rest-of-week with Liv, where me managed to squeeze in just about everything we wanted into the few days we were around.
