nasrat and techbint had a housewarming party on Saturday night. Great fun was had, and once again, gluten free beer didn't have the horrible effects on my joints that normal beer does. Odd. Also discovered that St Peters Ales make a gluten free beer now. And that Oddbins deliver. Despite only having the one beer and going to bed at a reasonably sensible hour, I failed to sleep much.
Got up Sunday and it was pouring. Sideways. However, the sun came out eventually and we wandered to the farmers' market at Alexandra Palace. I purchased some Green & Blacks products that are hard to come by around here and promptly proceeded to leave them at the house.
By the time I got to Stratford, it was cloudy and blowing a gale again. Thanks tosushidog for having another fabulous tea party. No one who's ever met me will believe this, but I actually didn't eat anything with chocolate in it. The night before, there were not one but two gluten-free chocolate cakes at the party (basically chocolate and sugar) and I couldn't face any more chocolate. Clearly I'm getting old or something. It was lovely to see so many people I don't see enough of and to get my hands on a copy of Filth Kiss. Signed, no less. I would have liked to stay longer, but I had to get home on public transport.
The transport gods smiled on me the whole way - I didn't wait for a bus or a tube train at any point. The only point at which it started to look like things were going wrong, when I got to Victoria and couldn't get on the first coach out, was actually a Good Thing in that the overspill coach was only half full and I had the pair of seats to myself - much more comfortable.
Got home at a reasonable hour, but am still completely wrecked, what with the lack of sleep Saturday night and Jason getting called out in the middle of the night last night. Still, more weekends like this please.
