FRIDAY:
Birthday drinks for
a_carnal_mink at the Tyranny of Distance. Lovely to catch up with her and
kits_the_dm . Had nice paella for dinner, then the stress of the last week hit me and I had to go home and sleep.
SATURDAY:
Karate. Lunch with Toshi, a fellow karateka who's going back to Japan for a year.
Dinner at Ito, then off to the East Brunswick Club for Sugar Kitten Cabaret. Which was tight and funny and fun, as well as raising money for WIRE. Thumbs up to
missmalice for organising it.
SUNDAY:
Lunch in Royal Park with the High Tea Society.
I'd offered to make gluten-free scones. They came out less like delicate little pastries suitable for elegant dining and more like something you'd put in a sling-shot and use to slay giants.
Still - the High Tea included antique linen, a working gramophone and a game of croquet. Plus lots of charming people. (waves at all the new people we met, and whose LJ names we've promptly forgotten).
Sunday night was finished off with Battlestar Galactica: the Board Game at Alex's house.
( Board game geekery... )
TODAY:
First day of two weeks leave. *relaxes*
