Long Way Down
Well it’s a bit late but frankly I had no wish to type after a long drive yesterday.
Sunday started late. Me and Rebecca stayed in for a while before packing up and driving into the city to have lovely food. This was followed by driving to the convention site and then driving to the coach station and then driving back to the site and then driving home.
Once home I sort of just fell into bed and worried about the noise that my car is now making post-journey.
There wasn’t much in the way of juggling. We got to the site pretty much around the time that the games were starting. We left during them and returned to find them still ongoing. And then me and Mats left.
Apart from the distance involved the event was act wasn’t actually too bad.
The site was too small, it’s a good job the orgs didn’t sell it well as any more folk would have been too many.
The ceilings weren’t too high either. But never mind. The amount of high stuff I wanted to do was minimal.
Show: Hmm. They also didn’t have a stage. I don’t like this, you know that. The lights were non-existant so acts performed with the house lights on.
Games? Meh. The people who like games seemed to like them though. And the “how many haggis can you balance on a single person” game looked quite gigglesome.
Worth the trip and major thanks to Rosie and Tom for lending me and Rebecca their flat for the weekend. A shame we didn’t have them around to spend more time with.
Have fun.

I left Edinburgh on Sunday evening at 10:30pm, on the Megabus. Arrived at Victoria Coach Station around 8:00am on Monday morning, and went straight to work – Ouch! Was a complete zombie by about 3pm, and really really struggling until earliest possible home time at 4pm! Nearly missed my stop by falling asleep on the train home, but just opened my eyes in time to make a frantic dash for the doors before they closed behind me. Went to bed almost as soon as I got home, and slept for three hours, not even being woken by the text message from Matt to tell me that he was going to be late home from work. Got up (at about 8pm) when he came home, and pottered around (taking things very easy) that evening. Still went to bed at normal time, and slept right through the night – I was shattered! Had an ACE weekend though, and would certainly say that it was all worth it
