Weekend Summary

[liadnan]

Odd kind of weekend. Met Chrysaphi for lunch Saturday: she was jet lagged and, well, it was before 1 on a Saturday, so I wasn't much better. Good to meet her anyway. Wandered round the BM afterwards.

Plans to go out of the evening came to nought, so I managed to see Dark Angel for the first time in weeks. I actually rate it reasonably highly in its genre and think it's a great shame it was axed after two series. Then I just did tedious domestic things, like tidy the flat (well, sort of) re-establish my relationship with the drains (we're still having trouble but I think they are considering forgiving me for whatever it was I did). Actually, to be honest, I did such things in occasional half hour stints in between reading sizeable chunks of Diana Wynne Jones latest.

Sunday I had to get up early again 'cos Steph was doing the marathon. Managed to get to Tower Bridge and meet Rob and Adele for 11:30ish but somehow we managed to miss Steph both crossing Tower Bridge and coming back through St Katherine's Dock. Actually, this was probably because she was actually heading for a damn impressive 3 hours 57 when she and we were expecting something more in the area of 4 hrs 15. So hurrah for her, and much cash for Children with Leukaemia.

There followed drinking and stuff.

Wound up my weekend with Greek music and metaxa at Cafe Corfu in Camden again. Great stuff, though I wish it wasn't on a school night.
