Dancing the night away

[ailbhe]

Well, we made it out to London, and we managed to get home by three, which is quite a feat. It involved turning into mice at midnight and scurrying away - and we couldn't find djm4 or clairaide to say goodbye properly - but we managed.

It's been a long day. Work started early, as it always does after the late database update on a Thursday night, and had gone badly wrong by 10:30 am. By three it was clear that I wasn't going to get a lunchbreak, and by five that I wasn't going to get away early either. I had time to have a bath before we left, but not to eat, so I had a burger on the train. I also had some strong tea and some coffee, for which I am very grateful, as otherwise I would have crashed and burned before we got into town.

It was a good time, and I danced a little. aegidian coaxed me onto the dance floor first, and later I got out there myself.

I realised that it's not just me - actually, very few people can really dance, and the rest of us, as adjectivemarcus said, just fake it - do what the music tells us to without much heed to technical details.

Even Rob danced a little, sort of; he held my hands or my hips while I danced on the spot a bit. He's not usually much into dancing; he stands in a corner and watches (and there was some feline grace on the dancefloor that was well worth watching).

I think some of the people who stayed later than us got home considerably earlier, but I have no proof.

I'm sorry we weren't findable--I think you must have come downstairs just as we were on our way back up. I did indeed dance the soles off of my boots. *)

*lots of hugs to make up for the goodbye hugs I didn't get to give you*

By the way, the photo of you came out very nicely; I shall email you a copy, if you like.

We could have gone upstairs again once we realised you weren't downstairs, but we were getting concerned about the time - we were in the cloakroom queue for almost half an hour. *hugs* gratefully returned :)

I'd like to see a copy of that pic, yes, please :) Does it look like Katie?
