It was okay actually.
It was nice to get out of the house without a child in tow and meet some new people and talk to some that I already knew. Unfortunately my knee being sore meant I spent most of the evening sitting down; in front of some Japanese rice crackers & bread sticks. I was impressed that I managed not to notice them at all until I was on my 3rd glass of vino rosso, thus proving that IE doesn't work when I'm pissed.
Oh well, today was another day......
