My hectic social life
Am very unpacked. My apartment now looks a lot less like an Ikea show-flat. Is missing a few essentials though - kettle, scales, baking tin, mixer; essentially I need a cake kit. Also I'd like a waffle iron and a juicer but they can wait.
Friday night I went to a board game meetup group thing. Played Concept. Have to put icons on pictures to spell out a clue on a card (a film, person, object or whatever). Also Robo-Rally (have to get robots from point A to point B by pre-programming them). Met some nice people. Saturday afternoon, went for epic lunch with a friend I met on OkC, and who, despite being 5'3" and skinny seemed to have no trouble polishing off a plate that seemed almost as big as she is. Didn't really get a lot of chat going though. We're both probably a bit too shy. I think we would get on if we could get over the initial awkwardness. Perhaps we needed beer.
Evening was another meetup. Do a geocache then drink in the beer garden (bit too cold really - would have been nice with weather from 3 days earlier). Geocache was a great ice-breaker.
Today I was meant to be meeting someone else from OkC. She had to cancel. Shame. Was looking forward to the hula-hooping. Have instead decided to unbox my Wii and play Lylat wars and Zelda.
Started running again. Decided I'd start at week 2 of couch to 5k because I'm not that out of shape. Need to fit it in around my hectic social life though. Good way to explore.
