sawylDashed home from work in time to fit in a swim before tonight's quiz. I'd originally planned to get their for half-past, but I realised I wasn't going be changed in time and we put the time back to quarter-to. I arrived slightly early, found myself on my own, and sat around reading for a while. Eventually I got a text from R saying they'd been delayed by the need to clean up dog vomit — E the dog is recovering from surgery. Luckily, M arrived a few minutes later dressed up to the nines:
The others arrived a little later and we sorted out some food and settled down for the quiz. The nosh was, as ever, excellent. R had a huge hamburger and pulled pork with cheese in a brioche bun while C and I had the veggie garden burger — similar trimmings with a burger made from beans and peas and various other delicious bits and pieces — and we all helped to make a dent in the sweet potato fries.
Our performance in the quiz wasn't particularly spectacular — we came fourth out of a moderate-sized field — and I revealed an impressive ignorance of Hollywood — although I pulled my weight in the music round and was the only in the team to get The Eiger Sanction. Still, we all had a good time and it was well worth waiting an extra month for the rescheduled event.
