karohemd | A fantastic day

Managed to get up at a reasonable time, get ready and drop off my party contributions at

professoryaffle's.

nannyo had already left so I took the bus in, and after having been at the fair for about five minutes, I ran into

nannyo. We walked around a bit, looked at carniverous plants, picked up a program and then acquired a

minspi. More phonecalls were made and the next additions to our group were

nurse_liz and

puddingcat. Next on the list were

raggedy_man and

dr_wez and then

faerierhona,

the_mendicant and

robinbloke. We walked around the fair for a bit, some bought food, some bought tat, it was all very pleasant.

The weather was perfect, sunny but not too hot with a lovely breeze. My hat was a godsend as it protected my head, face and neck from the sun. Strangely, I must have lost some of my resistance, as I have some slight sunburn on one arm, usually I just tan. Then again, today was the first really sunny day I've been out in for a longer time.

After

puddingcat and

nannyo left, I spend some time alternating between the East Stage and the Bigwam Stage (too bad they are so far apart) and caught some really good music at the Bigwam, especially a punk band called Symbo and a more generic rock band called Respond with a mad showoff guitarist.

Randomly ran into the guys from Rome Burns and had a nice little chat with

faerierhona.

Around 6, I was quite knackered from all the walking around so I called it a day and too the bus back to

professoryaffle's where I met loads of new people *waves* and had some fantastic food. I had heard about

professoryaffle's cooking before so I wasn't really surprised. The home-made sausages and the (rum/lime/mint drink) were particularly good.
The party was nice, mellow and very friendly and although only knowing a handful of people there, I immediately got on well with everyone.

There will be three sets of photo previews tomorrow: One unlocked generic Strawberry Fair, one locked and one filtered post for the party.

Tomorrow's diet will consist of not a lot of calories, I think. *burp*
