jackThe party went very well, I think. Thanks to everyone who came, especially people who helped out over my protestations, and who wore something in theme. I think everyone had fun, and much mead was drunk, and it was nice to see I'd got to know more nice poeple I hadn't invited to a party before, and there were many amusing quotes I unfortunately can't remember any of, but no lesbian orgies :( :)
It's shallow, but seeing nearly twenty people who want to come makes me feel loved :) I must actually have invited nearly sixty, including people who would never be able to come, and I *could* have fit them in my flat, but it's probably good that half of people have something else planned :) I think Katie had about that many to her birthday, but being in an orchestra is cheating :)
But I woke up too early on sunday, and the ideal cycle of "nap for an hour, drink water for an hour" was interrupted by the cycle into town, so I'm still not quite caught up on sleep this morning. I was supposed to visit Justin in london, but when I got to the station (in 20 minutes, which was quite convenient), trains had been replaced by buses, with "significant increase in journey times", so I postponed, and went to browse broders and spod instead. Where I met many other people who had had or were going to have had the same problem.
I'm getting moderately au fait cycling. I'm comfortable starting off with people behind me, even up hills, and changing gears with slipping the chain off (doh!), and steering through narrow gaps. And I'm very slowly getting fitter :)
I didn't get a chance for much writing, but felt what I did have was going well. I cleaned up a lot of Rec Herb, and thought a lot about how I want to start Azrael.

I'm not sure: a car would be useful occasionally, for visiting people on the other side of cambridge when we're not drinking, and for visiting worcester, and is more young-professionally, but I don't know if it's worth it for that.
