Well for a weekend that started out pretty horribly, what with missing Patrick (and SFA but then I knew I was going to miss them) hence near flushing 43 pounds down the bog, poor old Sophie having to depart way too soon, and suffering a painful dodgeums related injury it really did developed into one the happiest day and a bit I've spent in quite some time.
I think I've made it pretty clear that I had high opinions of some of people I was going to meet based on my online interactions. But everyone managed to be even, cooler more lovely and better company than I imagined even in times of doom and disarray. Nils and his amazingly potty mouth, Meryl's frankly pretty heroic one woman orangisation crew, finding out the Melba has been confirmed by scientists as officially slightly sweeter than sugar, Jay's (aka Jeremenia Paxman) Beavis and Butthead-esque glee at the innuendo laden tube map, and Mr Jay's ultra handy role as a walking mirror, lovely seeing Sophie however briefly (btw sorry to be a girl but the thing you where wearing was probably the single coolest item of clothing ever Ms Penrose. The kind of cardigan/dress hybrid? haha)
The banter in the Aussie-laden hostel Saturday night was too fun, and of course the main event so to speak the Patnic really caught fire when the irrepressible Ms Sibz with friend Naddy in tow came frankly bringing the party (and the hugs overload) with them. I'm gonna mention my friend Rall even though no one who wasn't actually there will know who she is. Because Rall is epic and I WILL bully her into posting here! Or and Jam for pointing out my fly was undone, helpful vegan, and Liz and Chool...
Thanks to everyone for giving me such a nice weekend with such a abundance of laff's and thanks of course for putting up with my loud, prone to talking far to much self, I'm profoundly sorry for 1) saying "lots of planets have a North!" roughly12238563486 times 2) saying "this is from the Nineties!" roughly 12238563487 times 3) "Air-Umbrella" I will say no more..
