nirikina,

dreema and I spent today in Cambridge,

dreema having driven me down from Edinburgh yesterday. I'm staying with

skrunchie and

aberbotimue while they have a firework party.

So we spent today wandering around Cambridge, looking for bits and pieces for the party, boots for

nirikina and a present for

dreema. I stupidly went into HMV, to escape 10 minutes later £30 less well off, but with videos of Moulin Rouge, Donnie Darko, Solaris and Road to Perdition. Oh, and Worms: Apocalypse, Lemmings and Wim-City 3000. Should keep me busy for the next few months.

The house here is lovely, decent sized garden, although obviously they're in the process of renovating the whole thing (the new bathroom is amazingly cool). I slept in the living room, and having woken up got to play with their Sky+ system - it's not as nice as Tivo, but it's still pretty neat, and a definite improvement over having to watch tv when it's actually on.

Tonight there will be large explosions, and more people.

biscuitware just turned up, and Bob Dalgeliesh (old uni friend who strangely doesn't have a LJ) will be here. Sadly,

purelyskindeep,

broin and

tisme couldn't make it this time, but It should still be a most excellent evening.
