A weekend in Nottingham
At the very last minute on Saturday night I decided to drive up to Nottingham to attend Corinne’s birthday party. I’d been invited to this quite a bit earlier on, but I just kind of ignored the invitation without properly reading it through.
The ability to just “get up and go” is truly one of the wonders of having a car.
In the end the evening was absolutely great fun: a real break from the monotony of living here in Blackwater. It was brilliant to see friends I’ve not seen in about three years: obviously Corinne was there, but so was Elspeth, Tom Wells, Adam Nunan and Neil Fullard. I also met a couple of people I’ve spoken to on the Internet before now.
For the first time in ages I got my camera out and got one or two decent shots… one in particular that I’m still struggling to get “right”. Once I’ve sorted it out I’ll get it posted here.
The next big trip will be to Manchester next weekend for the CompSoc AGM. I’ll be driving to work tomorrow as I’m going to give the Wey Kayak Club a shot in the evening—I have no idea how one kayaks in near pitch black… not to mention practically sub-zero temperatures.
I guess this is something I’ll figure out tomorrow.
