I was surprised to see that Grange Road was open again - thought that they were expecting the work to take 3 weeks.
Went to West's for tea & a croissant.
Yet more changes to the Computer Lab booklet, according to Megan, as missing the name of a sponsor. Something to look forward to on Monday.
A day of bits and bobs such as certificates for Paul/Dave J. Luckily I spotted one where characters were large boxes - turns out that it was a name with an umlaut.
PM was pretty quiet so got to finish 2nd MoPO book so can read the third one over the next few weeks in preparation of the new one being released at the end of March.
Met Lou in the Carpenter's and also met Kath & Toddy. They off to Sardinia on a cheep break: $45 for the flights & about £180 for 3 nights in a 4* hotel.
Over to the folk museum at 19.30 to find that they'd opened the doors well early and it was standing room only. They were doing a couple of black bar beers, bread from Cobbs bakery & a choice of Lincolnshire Poacher or Stilton from the Cambridge Cheese Co. We both went for the Old Museum Porter & poacher. Lou gave me a bit of stilton she'd picked up to try and it was nice so I got a bigger piece; the non-manky bit was nicely creamy but the manky bit was still like soap. Also found a hidden toilet under the stairs that was fine for Lou but a bit awkward for me. Pints&Pubs & his girlfriend Louise were there but didn't have a chance to talk to them.
There were some talks too. Alan Ackroyd from the bakery talked about where they get the wheat from (mainly from Wimpole Hall farm). We had a talk about Stilton from Jacky Sutton-Admas and finally Keith Jordan talked about hops.
On the way out I bought 3 bottles of the porter to take home.
