The weekend

[denny]

Spent the weekend in London... travelled there during the day on Friday, and back this afternoon. There was a lot of concentration required during the train station bits of the journey, but nothing bad happened and my leg is still in roughly the same number of pieces as it was before.

The Sex Maniacs Ball was dull as expected, although duranorak's company managed to liven it up a bit for me :) At least they've got themselves a disability-friendly venue this time - last year it was all staircases, a bit of a mess considering it's a charity fundraiser for the disabled! I was very happy to find I could actually move around the place on crutches (crowds allowing), although it turned out there wasn't much to see or do anyway. I presented this year's Erotic Award for Best Fashion Show.

Someone battered the hell out of my Kings of Chaos account while I was sleeping on Sunday... that's what happens when you leave the vicinity of your broadband.

Oh, and I broke one of the nails on my left hand sometime on Saturday, so I cut the rest of the talons off yesterday. I'm no longer the master of scritching, but I can type at a reasonable pace again, which is nice.

That journey was pretty scary... I wouldn't have been excessively surprised if something had gone wrong during it. Also, being in London was hideously expensive because I had to get cabs everywhere, not wanting to risk escalators to access the tubes.

More mundane getting about, within MK, isn't too much trouble now - I've built up some arm muscle, and the leg is mostly resistant to mild shock now (i.e. it doesn't hurt when I hop, as long as I land fairly softly), so I can move around quite well... I find myself overtaking two-legged dawdlers anyway. I still have to sit down every now and then, as either my leg will start to ache, or my hands will (I need to pad the grips on these crutches if I'm going to be using them for long periods, I think).
