More on the weekend
A smooth journey 95% of the way back home, with Delia and Don'tKnowHimWellEnoughToThinkOfAPseudonym accompanying us on the ferry, and then Delia on the train to London. The 5% that wasn't so smooth was when the train stopped at Leagrave, so we got off and got a taxi the last few miles.
Now unpacking, putting away, dinner, watching Springwatch, and thinking about going back to work tomorrow (well, for me; Creatrix gets an extra day off).
Many thanks go to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladyofastolat and king_pellinor for the hospitality, lifts and book loan, chainmailmaiden and others for the food, and everyone for being Good People. We hope prince_eldarion* is better by now (although I have to say that he is really a very good little boy, even when he isn't feeling his best), and that everyone got home (or, as the case may be, got tidied up) successfully.
*On seeing me getting a drink from the kitchen, he said, "Beer!" He has obviously got me pegged.
The weekend succeeded in taking me out of myself, so that was good; the tiredness is now more the result of sleeping in a strange bed and lots of travelling, I think.
I read on teletext that the Isle of Wight (specifically St Catherine's Point) was the wettest place in Britain, with 2.05 inches of rain between 6pm last night and 6am this morning. I can believe it.
It was so wet here that the Luton carnival (the biggest one-day carnival in Europe) was called off. This must be very disappointing for the people who had worked so hard to make costumes &c.
I also hear on the news that today at Headingley saw the coldest day's play ever at a Test match in Britain, at 7.4 C. I hope it's warmer when I go to see the game at Trent Bridge (my birthday present from my parents).
And a link for those who were talking about ladies' long coats.
