wellinghallWell on Friday ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bouncy_elf turned up nice and early, and we had some lunch. She was followed later by didiusjulianus, who had been delayed by an unfortunate incident on the East Coast Main Line. Then dinner, and then tj_pantera / progelatinous turned up and had has dinner, which we had kept warm for him.
bekbulatovich had very kindly recorded Four Weddings and a Funeral for us, and we watched that, as I hadn't seen it before. Then bed for me and Creatrix, while the other three stayed up until all hours of the morning; I would say, "Ah, what it is to be young", but I couldn't do that even when I was their age.
The next day, MastermindChampion arrived, as didladyofastolat and king_pellinor. We all had pumpkin soup risotto for lunch. Then beckyc turned up, and we trooped off to the Methodist book sale, and boosted their coffers quite considerably. Late arrivals were rustica, who arrived mere seconds after we had wondered where she was; very closely followed by skordh, jane_somebody and prince_eldarion, who were all the more welcome because they had warned us the day before that they might not be able to make it. There was a momentous game of Risk, and much game casserole, pigeons in cider, braised cabbage, baked beans, and baked potatoes; followed by Passage of the dead marshes jelly.
This morning we got up, breakfasted &c, thendidiusjulianus had to go to get her train. megamole and miss_next arrived, we had spinach and mushroom lasagne, and played LotR trivial pursuit.
the_marquis joined in by email, as he and na_lon were detained by in-laws. And unfortunately romancinger and Highlander were prevented from coming by illness, as were TeddyFancier and CuddlyTiger. Several others were suffering from work, theses or lack of cash. We hope that some or all of these afflictions will be cured by the time of the next moot / SocT banquet.
We really enjoyed having everyone here, but I think that a special mention has to go torustica, who had gone to the trouble of choosing some wine to go with game, even though she doesn't eat it herself!
What else? We looked at lots of photos of SocT and TS events from 1994, which caused much hilarity; apart from many of those mentioned above, Saxon, Salesman,amalion, sigisgrim and a rather naughty Tigger featured heavily. Photos of our wedding (1996) were also in evidence.
didiusjulianus / rustica, you left some careers stuff here; do either of you want it? And ladofastolat, please don't bother to return the Malcolm Saville; if you don't want to keep it, it can go to a charity shop.
We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!
