I am awake and alive and slightly unwell. I didn't actually sleep much last night, owing to assorted stomach-related issues. So when Robert got up this morning I went back to sleep until about noon. Stomach still dodgy, but tolerable.

We have a new dishwasher! This is fantastic and marvellous and makes me very happy. Today's plans therefore involve cleaning dishes, clothes and myself, online jobhunting, and going out for food with crocodilewings. Woo and yay! I will, however, need to get an early night, because...

TOMORROW is the picnic in Oxford. People on my friends list should now have my phone number. The picnic details are in a previous post on this journal. As for the pubmeet plans I suggest the Wheatsheaf from 7.30pm. If anyone has objections please state them ASAP. AFAIK it's central and pleasant and not one of the ones which is massively popular with tourists, am I right? Please invite your friends etc. as previously suggested.

Comments and questions, post here.

I should be there tomorrow. There might also be a quisalan but I know she is intending to do lots of hardcore training in preparation for her hardcore Kung fu session in portugal this weekend. I'll try to remember to mention it to her though to make sure she is aware. :)

*grin* I'm never sure how much she is on the internet from work. Sometimes she seems to be on LJ a lot but other times she seems to be internet devoid. :)

I don't suppose a package for me got delivered today, did it? Or a card through the door?

[taimatsu]

Not that I can see, no.

[borusa.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Thanks.

[taimatsu]

It has arrived today!

[borusa.livejournal.com]

Ah! Different package! How odd!

[taimatsu]

It's from 10th Planet. Looks like a CD to me...

Seems likely. :) The new one, written by lonemagpie

Right. From the Plain, you go down St Clements. You don't go as far as the A&G pub itself; before that, there's the driveway to that Magdalen accommodation (the Florey Building?) and a car park. Enter the car park; it's round the back of what, in my day, was a white-painted estate agents. You want to cross the car park to the tree-bush-hedge-railing thing at the back of it - bearing slightly right, diagonally across the car park, will get you in roughly the right place. I believe there is a signboard (or there used to be) telling you when the meadow closes; next to this there is a gate, and through it is the meadow. We will be not too far from the gate because that is generally the shady area. My picnic rug is red tartan, and I may well be blowing bubbles.

(What is the right punctuation for 'estate agent(s)' in that abbreviated context?)

I so miss everyone. Someone (livredor, if she's there) needs to have a Hoegaarden for me at the Wheatsheaf.

I'll let her know, if she turns up. I'd do it, but I fear I wouldn't appreciate it in the slightest.

Sorry I couldn't make it.

Has anyone been in touch with you about the holiday we're organising? Raptor and co are planning a hiking/camping trip in late August. Come!

So that was your evil twin I spent the evening in the pub with, then? :)

No, no-one has mentioned the holiday. Who're the 'and co', and where's the planned destination? I suspect I am busy all of late August, but I'm interested in hearing more anyway.
