sawylAn early evening soirée arranged by the HPC project as thanks for the success of the first two phases. The guest list was enormous but when I went down, there weren't actually that many people there even though the caterers had supplied enough curry, poppadoms and nans for everyone. Unfortunately the time was rather odd too — food was served between 5-7pm — so there wasn't as much enthusiasm for the food as there might have been had it been later and there was so much left that by the end that anyone who walked through the atrium was being encouraged to take a portion.
The evening wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be and I ended up talking to BE and GB for much longer than expected. So long, in fact, that I had to check the bus times in order to work out how to get back into town. In the end I discovered that the 4 bus runs a couple of services an hour until 2252, so despite having to wait for ten minutes in the cold, I was able to avoid having to walk home.
