Mid-year seminar

Sheesh, another year gone by! It was weird being at the mid-year seminar this year and looking for certain faces, only to realise that they'd all left... nevermind, there were OTHER familiar faces and even a few new ones! So it wasn't too bad... although Mary, Joyce, Nu, James, Vams, Hiten et al... you guys were sorely missed!

Anyway, so there were the usual workshops (I presented one, can you believe it?! Bottom of the barrel time), followed by the usual LOOOOOOOOONG, NEVERENDING speech, followed by the, by-now traditional, musical fundraiser at Shame! This year's theme was back-to-school (slightly creepy, when you consider that we're all teachers)... It was fun. But no tops came off this year, no dancing on the bar... no people dragging other people into closets to kiss them (as per 2004/5). It was all very tame and I found myself without a hangover on day two of the seminar for the first time in two years! Nice...
