It should be safe now...

As you might have guessed from previous posts, thesme_01 came to visit last night. We had fizzy wines. Then non-fizzy wines. And much Refined and Serious conversation while watching Gethin Jones get all wet Hunt Danger.
There may have been a slight descent into silliness towards the end of the evening, due to the bubbles. It's always the bubbles. Then a somewhat late bedtime at about half 2. Followed by phoning from bed to exchange insults, which seemed like a great idea at the time, but less great this morning when the alarm went off.

However, we managed to assemble ourselves, pick up another friend and her teeny babby and head to the book launch, where we were very mature and respectable and did not stand at the back sniggering when our Esteemed Environment Minister started talking about what he likes to do on his holidays... (actually one of the funniest moments was when he was introduced and there was the pause for applause but NONE CAME. A moment of beauty).

We Mingled for a bit, then went for a walk around the castle, admiring the many alliterative statues of various soldiery (Cuthbert the Crossbowman remains my favourite), til it started to rain, so we legged it.

Back in work now (having safely dispatched Thesme back across the border), desperately struggling to stay awake. Moar Tea!

aaaaaaand next week I arrive in belfast! But I am far less entertaining and more refined[1] than The Smee.

More refined? Like oil?

Will check cinemas and see what's on, hopefully something watchable! If that fails, firefly?

while watching Gethin Jones get all wet Hunt Danger

i TRIEd to watch that but he's a bit crap, isn't he? or am i confusing him with the old bloke jumping on alligators while looking for feral pythons in the everglades?

he was introduced and there was the pause for applause but NONE CAME. A moment of beauty

*glee*

Gethin was a bit crap, but cute when he got wet, so it was all ok
