beccaelizabethFirst one I got to this year, so there was much talking and catching each other up on what we watched over the holidays.
There was something like a history of Doctor Who in 100 objects? And another 'fact' book about DW? I should look them up, those were good.
I took pictures of what I've been reading and watching as reminders and told about which bits were interesting. I said a bit about River Song but he didn't ask follow up questions so I don't know if he didn't want spoilers or wasn't as interested. And we chatted time travel stuff from other shows too. Many topics, lots of words.
The Ribs have started serving food so I got a Vegan Burger, which iirc is made of beetroot? It was plenty edible but I didn't eat the bun because seeds but they said they can change bits of it for next time if I ask. So I have a Plan and a thing to eat now. And the chips were nice.
Also we played the first chapter of a game I got that is tricky to play as a collaborate game because someone has to want to do the reading things out and get invested in the story and argue about choices and stuff. But it's more fun today than last time I tried it, so with an enthusiastic group that could still work.
There were more people in the basement. If the food gets popular we might have to change venue. That would be less good, I've got the hang of the Ribs. Still, if we do look for a new place, I can suggest prioritising accessability. Stairs are sub optimal.
I wore my new boots, which I think work better with the laces the way I had them today, and my new coat, which is as advertised both warm and waterproof, as tested on the way back to the car today.
Pretty good day.
