tonymorelHave had a great couple of days.
Went out on Friday with the CouchSurfing group for the regular Friday night Jazz+Beer
Had quite a large turnout and it was gone 2am when I finally got home after a really brilliant evening (despite being on diet coke all night)
It's been ArtsFest here in Brum this weekend so that was pretty cool too - the opening of it was Friday night so we popped over to the town hall and council offices to watch the light display. It was raining pretty hard, but that actually added to the atmosphere with the lights bouncing off the rain as it fell.
Luckily Saturday was much better weather so got to have a walk around the squares, chat with some of the people from the various museums and art galleries etc.
After coming home and doing some shopping I went back into town and watched some of the dancing and checked out some of the local poets (had bumped into quite a few people I knew earlier, so this time I was actively looking for friends performing)
Sunday was more of the same, caught some of the morning events, worked on the boat while listening to the Grand Prix, and then came back to see what other shows were on.
Am now doing a spot of housework before work as my CS'er arrives this afternoon. No idea how long she's staying. A day turned into two, then a request for another couple of days. Doesn't really bother me, haven't got much on other than a small conference on Microsoft Robotics so it's not as if it's putting me out if she stays all week.
