Biennial 2

Biennial was good fun. Saw loads of people I haven't seen for ages, gossiped, talked shop, listened to some interesting keynote speeches, and went to loads of workshops. Discovered I could make packaging to transport eggs safely,- including being hurled at a concrete path - without cracking or breaking. The team I was in were shocked to discover that, although everybody's prototype passed the test of being thrown 30m onto grass, ours was the only one to survive being wanged onto a concrete path! YES!!! [Didn't realise i was competetive either!] We also made the most profit, as ours was the cheapest to make, and we gained the extra points for a succesful throw.
Food was good - but I don't want to eat salmon again for a few weeks...
Entertainment was excellent - but the pile up on the dance floor found me at the bottom with a rather sore ankle as I fell off my sandal as we all collapsed in a heap of giggles when most of the line moved and met an unresisting wedge of bodies. Oops! Never mind, it was fun, and I am sure it will only be a minor hitch in my GNR preparation.
Next one will be in London - once the colleges within the University of London finish squabbling over WHICH one will actually be the venue - looking forward to it
