oof, it's late

(though not as late as the date-stamp of this post makes it seems; my computer is on GMT+1, and I'm on GMT).

Had a great night at the food workshop (fabulous food, and enough for to have seconds), and then beer at the pub by Weetwood with jpgsawyer and Caroline, and then more beer for them and a pot of tea for me, and then back to Boddington Hall where jpgsawyer and I discovered that on Wednesdays the pub there is open until 2:30 am so more beer for him and a Kopparberg (perry) for me. It occurred to me that it's been about a year and a half since I last saw him, something which I must definitely prevent from happening again. You must come to Amsterdam, jpgsawyer, you must!

So I'm wondering by now if attendance at that 9am session is going to happen. On the other hand, breakfast ends at 9am so if I want food I have to get up for that. Things end the middle of this afternoon, so I can always come back then for a nap. But definitely bedtime now.

I've been a bad girl

After my talk last night, one of the audience members informed me that Oxbow's stand had a number of volumes of Paul of Venice's Logica Magna marked down cheaply. I checked it out this morning and came away with four volumes I didn't yet have, for 32 pounds. I'm going to regret this walking out to the bus stop tomorrow...

See, this is why I don't want to pay for overpriced meals when I know I can make do on much less. If I don't spend the money on food, I can buy books instead!

Even with the late night I still managed to stumble out of bed in time to get breakfast before attending the 9am session (on necessity and natural philosophy in Thomism). The second morning session I attended was on economics in eastern Europe, and upon the conclusion of that I can proudly say that I attended a complete session for every slot in the schedule with the exception of skipping the opening plenary talks. Pretty exhausting! I'm rather glad that things are finished here now and I can relax (and probably nap!) the rest of the day before catching the train to Winchester tomorrow.
