A short trip

I'm off tomorrow to La Continent for a conference—great timing, just as we're about to move, but it has been planned for a while. So unless I find an internet connection somewhere, things will be quiet around here until next Thursday or Friday. Have fun while I'm away, but no parties in the house, OK?

  1. 1

    Have fun.----- No parties? Bah humbug, we were gonna crash your place and have a bbq regardless of the weather. No fair.

    Enjoy it: hopefully the weather'll be a bit brighter than it's been in Oxford lately...

    Incidently, I bought Sufjan Stevens' album Seven Swans on your recommendation last week. I think it's excellent also smile

    • cases the joint and sees no sign of activity for several days *

      • breaks in to steal the silver (and finds none) *

      • does a quick tidy up and leaves a bottle of champagne** in the fridge *

    ** a virtual bottle

    The "silver" reference was not meant to imply that you don't possess any (just that I couldn't find it)

    The "tidy up" reference was not meant to imply that you'd left the place messy when you left (I just put everything back how I'd found it)

    And I returned later, stole back my own champagne and drank it.

    Sorry!

    Matthew: Actually, it was very wet, but we did have some exciting thunderstorms in compensation. I'm glad you liked the Sufjan Stevens.

    Mr. D.: I don't have any silver, which is why you couldn't find it, and I did leave it in a mess—you tidied up a bit. You were also very lucky to avoid Mr. Bsag when you broke in, or he would have bopped you on the head with a bicycle pump.
