The day started with a disagreement with the hotel staff. According to them bare feet aren't allowed in the brasserie for Health an Hygiene reasons. They didn't take it too kindly when it was pointed out that their, not particularly clean looking, street shoes were in fact dirtier , and more of a hygiene problem than freshly washed feet.

"It's the law!"
"No, actually it's not."

I hadn't intended to wander to brekkie barefoot, it just happened as I was nattering to some people at the time and we just drifted that way.

On returning wearing not very much in the way of sandals:
"Thank you. I've been told it's not the law, it's management policy."

Breakfast was still crap. How can a 4* hotel bugger up a fry-up?

The morning was split between Gophering and sessions:
The Omnian Church Sunday Service which included a rather funny sermon by The Cunning Artificer.
Biology of the Discworld given by Jack Cohen
Simon Briggs Interview.

It also included a total underwear failure, which fortuntely did not occure at an inopportune moment.

Lunch which I forgot to eat again - 3 days in a row.

Yet more gophering,
relocating the charity auction *3* times
UU faculty meeting
shopping in Sator Square
and then the thing that has done my back in - moving stage step blocks out of the main hall ready for the Gala Dinner.

Had dinner, and the went to Koom Valley to play games - The Hogfather prototype mainly.

This was followed by a somewhat late running talk on BDSM by 'Affordable' Graham.

IHTS, that this skirt whilst it is nice, is not very comfortable to *sit* in as a result of having heavy lace ribbon hoops on it. One of which is located perfectly to dig in the back of the thighs when sitting. *grump*

Ah, by that time I'd packed the lappy away and left my bags at reception. I'm soory that we didn't get to chat. :(

Hopefully, there'll be other occasions.
