Last night I went to beermats housewarming party, down in Woking. I was there early having gotten myself lost in the wrong bit of Woking – too much reliance on technology, I had no backup plan for when my navigation system didn’t know about his road, so had to phone to get directions. Twice. It would have been a third time but I just spotted their road when I was looking for somewhere safe to pull over.
We spent most of the night experiencing small world syndrome – with various people independently known to other party attendees, I’m not sure if its just the internet thats done this to us, or whether the world has really always been like that and I’m just noticing it now.
Still, there was a nice amount of geeking, to the point we were offered a whiteboard to help consider build tree annotations, an offer we politely declined. The boysenberry juice seemed to go down quite well with varied success in attempts to mix with available alcohols.
A fun night, made all the more disturbing by the collection of My Little Ponies in the roof.
