Wir verstehen euch nicht

So another month has gone by. A pretty crazy month, actually. And now it's hot and the world cup starts this week. What could be better?

Highlights in May:

Mad trip to Paris (see below)
Sisters of Mercy (again below)
Work quiz
Brussels for work (and too knackered to go up to N's party in Ox, sadly)

Dinner with L and N in Oxford - oh the food (5 kinds of ham, cheese souffles, lamb stew with dauphinoise potatoes and chilli fennel, chocolate cheesecake, chocolate and walnut cake, cheese) and the wine!
Across on the bus (classic style) to Cambridge to see E and her baby on the base with M - superb evening preceded by a quick walk around college - no real change

Hugely successful stakeholder meeting for work

Up to Manchester with D to see T
Long, long journey via Sheffield but some brilliant views on Trans-Pennine railway
Kathmandu curry and Old School on Saturday
Didsbury pub lunch (superb) with A on Sunday
Then Felix da Housecat and friends in Sankey's Soap Sunday night
Struggled back on Monday

K's birthday and Camden shenanigans
England 6 Jamaica 0
Lying about in St. James' Park with G
CLWG - down at D's in the sunshine - mmm - Gaza, Space, Angband

And now June stretches forth like a tasty salad.
