Jun. 15th, 2015 01:53 pmThis year's MK Collectormania - the sixth in a row for me! - was a change of pace. I went straight from work, and due to no longer having a car I had to take the train. This meant I had my own weight in baggage. We also went out for lunch with a recruitment agency on Friday, so by the time I left work I was also slightly tipsy. GOOD TIMES.
As it was hotter than hell in London, and there were problems on the line, I spent too long waiting in Euston for a train. Fortunately, the trains to Milton Keynes from London are both frequent and very fast, so I was there in very little time and trundled over to the Travelodge, where I found Lucy and four beds. FOUR. Ironically, there were only three of us. It felt like some kind of weird karmic retribution for all the times we slept on the floor...
Lucy and I spent the evening chatting, swapping fic recommendations and youtube videos, and Ann turned up much later on due to chaos on her trains getting down. We continued to stay up late and chat. It was just... lovely. I don't see these ladies often enough!
( i just wanted to build a snowman! or, saturday )
( gul dukat a submissive love slave! or sunday )
We left in the afternoon, and Lucy kindly dropped me off at the station as I hastily changed dresses in the backseat of her car. Classy, as always, that's me.
I got back in good time and had a lazy Sunday afternoon. Now it's Monday, which I have taken off work because I am sensible, even though I ended up awake at 8am because apparently twelve children screaming their way through a trampoline is how the people in the house behind us like to spend a morning. I'm finishing typing this up, have updated facebook with pictures of the weekend, and now I'm watching Firefly because, frankly, I can. Having also eaten lunch I'm going to wash up, sort out the laundry and then organise my autographs as they have now outgrown the folders I have! Then I might just read the Ms Marvel and Hawkere books I picked up BECAUSE I CAN.
