Weekend

Well, that was a pretty good weekend all in all, if a bit devoid of sleep...

Andy, Marielaure, Jinty, Cameron, other Andy and Duncan all seemed to enjoy themselves, especially Marielaure who remained uniformly excited through everything. Even my dad's spirit level collection! Well done to her!

And now the house is once again empty - all of the Geordies have returned to Newcastle and the various stragglers have finally fled to their collective abodes *phew*.

A not-too-big house with almost 20 people sleeping in it is quite stressful... particularly for my dad (who isn't a hugely sociable person) who as soon as everyone left visibly cheered up in a matter of seconds.

Had a good sleep last night for the first time in five days, and today feel quite refreshed - though my legs do hurt a bit - yesterday I walked to Debz'/back from Debz' 3 times, which comes to about 6 miles in total, some of which is steep hill.
