Yesterday started out a bit dismal; overcast, cool and rather windy, but by the time [livejournal.com profile] lemur_catta and I had met up with [livejournal.com profile] ajhalluk and [livejournal.com profile] commodorified for lunch (later to be joined by [livejournal.com profile] commodorified's partner) and food and excellent beer had been consumed, it had turned into a warm, sunny afternoon so we headed off to Harbourfront to do sailing geeky things. There is an excellent nautical book shop there that has almost every imaginable age-of-sail novel plus much interesting non-fiction. It even had copies (at half price) of the excellent knot tying book that t'lemur bought me a while back.

Besides much fun conversation I now get to tick off an additional couple of names in the LJ Spotter's Guide.

Cool!

One of my old mates, Rob Young, is archaeologist for the Northumberland National Park. Rob and I haven't seen each other for twenty five years though we swap emails occasionally. So it was a really nice little Christmas present this morning to find a recording of him on the park website. he sounds a bit posher than he used to but it's still definitely Rob.
