What I did at the weekend

hirezWent to London. It was nice.
(Seems clear that a set of people wouldn't know a junior-school 'what I did on my holidays' parody if it ran up and stuffed flyers in their hands. Maybe I should have added 'We had ice-cream'?)
Hey ho.
It wasn't any particular secret - More a case of Expectation Management.
I have a firm and abiding dislike for Organised Outings (and explain this every six months or so, usually to blank incomprehension), so I'm about the last person on the face of the LJ to post a detailed itinerary with the (to my mind) unwarranted and self-important notion that everyone else had jolly well better alter their plans to fit in with mine. I also really really like the concept of smart mobs and since I don't think I know anyone who doesn't keep a mobile...
There was also the better-than-average chance that I'd bottle the whole enterprise. Yet another reason for Not Making A Fuss. (about going to a gig and picking up some s/h kit... Oh, see previous paragraph...)
Hm. Have I strayed off the point into militant self-effacement yet? Probably.
Anyway. Experiment successfully concluded. I'll probably be back.
The Underworld staff were their usual efficient selves, so I have no particular idea what Swarf sounded like. Thankfully, the entirety of the sarf-lunnen old-school goff mob were out, so all became seriously time-warped. This was helped along by an unruly team of Cixen, to the extent that I was at one point convinced that the last five years were a brutal fiction.
Reality's a fickle mistress, and no mistake.
