Rachel's housewarming was lovely; thank you to all of the other people who came. There were work colleagues, and disparate friends who all got on well together.

I made it safely to the party and back to Cambridge. Though the A14 was _closed_, with scary "all lanes stop dead" signs, my satnav took me safely along several roads I don't know, diving through the heart of pitch-black Cambridgeshire, to emerge on the A428 and thence the A14. There were "diversion" signs, but it would have been very stressful to do without the knowledge that you could get back on the route if you went the wrong way.

We played Dominion against an imaginary player who just bought money. Last time that player won, which was very, very annoying, but this time we trounced it, so the original Dominion is officially more subtle (at least a bit) than solitaire :)
