Returned from NCCW on Thursday, worked Friday, enjoyed the long weekend and a fine Thanksgiving!
It was different in that Ian was away but mike, Joanne, Devon, MaYa and Sofi came; Rob brought Maria (delightful young woman!)' Fran and Laurelee came and stayed overnight. The biggest surprise was that Colin also arrived - just as if we saw him yesterday. He had hardly changed considering how long it has been. So we had a relaxed and pleasant time.
Brunch with Cousins Laurelee and Fran, cleaned up, went shopping and tried to think about packing.
Tuesday I went to one of Amy Sunberg'S women's gathering but it was not well attended and in a poor location. Home by nine; still thinking about packing....
Thursday was the installation of the new Corpus Christi/St. mark's colleges president and principal.
Check name - Meehan.
So glad I went; he seems a very nice man. Archbishop Miller spoke eloquently and passionately - he is so at home in that intellectual world. I was a guest of honour even!
Got home at 10.....really must start packing! sigh.
By Friday night, I was flat out of time with nothing left but to go for it...long story short, I never did pack the shoes I had been wearing indoors all week and I have no idea what happened to them!
Arrived Londom GATWICK at 6:30 am, found our way to the. Express train tat took directly to Moe's stop at Kentish Town.
With nary a taxi to be found, we managed to find a bus that took us to her corner.
Lovely to see her and Alfand of course Soph.
We had a long slow day with lots of coffee and Moe drove us to Mass where we nearly fell face first we were so tired. But we persevered and stayed up til 8:30,
