Party in Oxford; very nice to see ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
j4 and addedentry and their many lovely guests, some of whom I did manage to remember meeting before. We drove over in james_r's car, so he could go on to see a friend in Abingdon, and managed to fit fivemack in as well.
Less good was Charles's travelsickness, causing a lengthy roadside delay next to the house of a very rude person and a rather ... fragrant ... car for the rest of the day. I am now rapidly revising any journey plans which involve me driving alone long-distance with Charles, because it's clear that I couldn't safely do that kind of roadside cleanup alone.
We had originally planned to leave early and hit a housewarming in Cambridge, but in the end it was just too good to leave until rather later. After doing the driving back, I was so tired I went straight to bed.
Today has been fairly mellow: a couple of laundry loads drying in the sun, getting Tony to open his post before the letter rack exploded, a fair bit of Freecycle-related faff which included a nice walk with Charles, and I gather the boys were playing with water pistols in the garden.
Charles having got the hang of soft toys, I dug out several we were given when he was much younger and put away when he didn't appreciate them. He now seems charmed, and is being very cute with them, especially when encouraged to give them rides in his toy buggy.
