Tuesday. Good day.

I liked today. It was an easy day. I taught two classes and got paid for a full day's work...... Shhh, don't tell the Ministry.

I played basketball. It was good too. Lots of running and shooting and passing and rebounding. I feel virtuous and fit! I was playing against students from my school and I don't think I embarrassed myself too badly. Scored some points. Kept up reasonably well. Didn't injure any small children.

But the highlight of my day was ..... Sven(with a)d's hospitality! I had a feeling my casual hint about coming over for tea-and-biccies after basketball would result in there actually being a tray of freshly baked cookies being taken out of the oven ten minutes after I arrived and me being given a selection of exotic sounding herbal teas from the T-shop. And I was right!

I asked an innocent question about whether he had forced C. to role-play with him yet (not something you'd openly ask non-RPG folk).... and half and hour later he stopped for air and C. was able to say, 'So... yes, that's actually how we met'. I actually enjoyed the speil he'd given on the intricacies of RPG, though I was disappointed that there wasn't more physical acting out of the scenarios. I stand by believing it's a great creative outlet for grownups (in theory). Certainly more structured than me and Cassie deciding to put on obnoxious faux-British accents and trying to convince people she's 32nd in line to the throne.....

I think I'd quite like to do a murder-mystery party for my birthday this year. Though, that limits the numbers and I do enjoy asking random people (those ones on the fringe of the social group, or the ones I only see socially once a year at my birthday.... like James and Meredith).

I am possibly going to a 'Nurses, Air Hostesses and Dirty Old Perverts' themed party in the weekend. Erm. I think I'm more comfortable dressing up like Helen Clark - but I'll give the slutty costumes a go, I guess. They have these little Star Trek mini-dresses at the Costume Cave.... I could go as a futuristic air hostess from the Starship Enterprise! That would be geeky......

While I'm uploading photos..... Cassie (or was it Ange?) mentioned this weekend that everybody knows someone who looks like jesus. Here's my brother in a rather unkempt phase. What a mane of hair he sported! He is a man, a hairy man.
