I was nervously but happily overwhelmed by coffee morning today. We must have had 30 or 40 people, most of whom I'd never met before. Some of whom I've still not met. Sorry about that. I'm not a natural host. And it seems I was also too overwhelmed to take a decent picture.
The folk with the laptop were just sitting there when coffee morning descended on them, and assimilated them in a borg-like fashion. Which I was embarrassed by until it became clear that they'd been twittering Graham and he'd told them who we were and made introductions via twitter.
It's a small distributed village.
I'm also conscious that coffee morning has bedded in very satisfactorily in other places, I'll do a little round-up next week. We're off to the seaside now.
We went along as first-timers. And very nice and non-cliquey it was too.
Cheers Russell. See you next week.

Sorry I didn't make it. I had a grade 10 hangover and the thought of meeting you and all the others was just too much.....

I met up with the Bangkok coffee morning crew last Thursday. We had drinks and pizzas (it was held at night, in a bar - Thais don't do mornings too well, BKK traffic and all). It was fabulous. Pics to follow on my flickr and blog.

At least that shot shows a lot of action, right?

It was nice to be assimilated in a borg like fashion and, although I still have no idea what exactly the coffee morning was all about or who it was intended for, we did meet some nice people. Which was, well, nice.

I was at the Cheltenham Gold Cup throwing away money I don't have. Will be there on the 30th tho. Finally.
