Damn you **Ianzin**! You Evil Temptor, you! I’ll do my best, but I think it’s highly unlikely, if I can get enough work done today, then I might be able to take a few hours off tomorrow before my meeting… ---

I know. Blame my supervisor, who’s decided I’m not going anywhere during the week. It has led to the other half’s dad instructing me that if she doesn’t let me go away in September, to let him know, and he will be calling her, and having very strong words with her. 😃 ---

It was good. We tried (and failed) to teach **Kferr** what “A round of drinks” was but he wasn’t having any of it and still insisted on buying his own. 🙂 Plenty of good ales, some good cider, and a few nice import lagers. Also had lots of footy tables scattered around the hall which was handy. A good time was had by all (I believe). ---
