Saturday in particular was great. Sunday I felt less chipper (not just booze)

The fact that at any one time there where usually two things I wanted to do shows quite how good it was. So I never got to hold originals or take part in the Vadi class.

Also given how "unusual" the system Gareth taught it was very interesting to see how few people objected. I think there is much more of a desire to learn and to see different things now than there used to be. Another sign of growing maturity.


Not to make you jealous, but I did the Vadi and the touchy-feely session.
Both were excellent!

I am still gibbering to anyone in work who stands still long enough about the touchy feely session, sometimes it even gets more coherent than "ooooohh...shiny...dribble".

However I am troubled by flashbacks involving geologists and furry purses......something to keep my therapist entertained with I suppose...

As a geologist, I really must apologise for my furry purse. The sword just happened to lift my kilt and I thought no-one was watching...........well, maybe no-one.

Fortunately I only had the side view so my blushes were spared. :D

Although I think both Jo and myself enjoyed the pre-dinner furry purse stroking (some sort of ASG tradition?), just the thing to work up an appetite!

Hello back (hello back also to Matt who said hi ages ago)

Having lurked on SF for a while I thought I'd come and see what you guys were up to.

As I've said before, this is kinda like the ball pits they have in family pubs for all the kids to mess about in. :wink:

You know how after a good nigth out, you don't have total recall? Things/memories come back to you at varying intervals?

Well does any one else remember Saturday night/Sunday morning a man wearing pink pants? :shock:

I think that occurred after I retired, but there are stories...

I have no recollection of the pink pants - but then I retired quite early.

Are you sure this didn't just happen in your room, Jo?
