Emma leaves

[ailbhe]

Emma left this morning - well, this afternoon.

After getting home late last night, sobering up while walking from Reading train station, and collapsing into bed after much forced rehydration, I woke comparatively early and headed to Janice's house to see Emma off. She is moving back to Canada to be a grownup instead of a student. Turned out I woke too early and woke her up, too. So we had tea and wandered around digging through some more of the stuff she wasn't bringing back with her.

That'd be the New Scientist with the Anthrax cover, a lipstick case that wasn't big enough for her Swiss Army knife, her bicycle, and some stationery.

Yes, a bicycle. It's a racer, and will probably fit Rob.

Janice came home from Slimelight at about 11, and then we all just, well, waited for Emma's friend to arrive to drive her to the airport. The morning was feeling somewhat surreal and distant at that stage, due to lack of sleep (Janice had been awake all night), so we bade her goodbye and staggered off to bed.

I have no recollection of what we did for the rest of the day.
