Oxford Literary Festival: Part One

Today has been a day of ups and downs. And the first of three visist to the Oxford Literary Festival.

Good: CDs arriving in the post from brassyn and gagravarr.
Bad: After ten days of glorious sunshine, the weather decides to turn nasty the day I'm going to Oxford.
Worse: Glastonbury has sold out. Although that may not be a lost cause.
Better: I leave work early and drive to Oxford. As I drive, the weather clears up somewhat.
Very Bad: As I stand outside the Sheldonian waiting for Ollie, a text arrives from Naomi. She's been roped into working in the evening, can't get out of it, and won't make it up to Oxford at all.
Worse: It starts raining. No, seriously. The timing was phenomenal. Sure, it wasn't proper heavy, bleak rain, it was a warm shower, but it was still impressive timing.

After all that, I wasn't sure how the evening would go. The good news is, both events were excellent, and I had a pleasant dinner with Ollie and Rachel afterwards. The bad news is, I kept thinking how much Naomi would have enjoyed herself. Ah, well; there's still friday and saturday.

Well, I recognise elements of that in myself, certainly. And I think the idea that I'm on the cusp between extrovert and introvert is pretty accurate.
