Out last night with (deep breath) Jo, Heike, Mark, Tanya, Dan J, Dave Kingston, AliceandSteve, Allan, Rob P, another David who has an impressive 3 beards, and (briefly) Gareth and DJ to the Wenlock Arms to work our way through the guest ale list, except Dave who is on penicillin for VD tooth abscesses. The ambience is sandals 'n' beards, apart from the shellsuit at the bar glaring at us and making pointed and alcoholic comments from time to time, and the music is Tommy Tucker and Little Milton. Dave#1 gives me a kit to make a papier mache dinosaur; unfortunately I am no better at craft than when these gifts were age-appropriate and I expect to be proudly displaying something less stegosaury and more potbellied pig by January.
