Stuff I learned today

1. How to make corsets.  Met an old friend at the much-blethered about wedding who gave me a ten minute tutorial.
2. Dropping a walnut down your cleavage is not comfortable.
3. Day trips to Edinburgh are possible.
4. When writing out recipes, use a pen that works and don't do it on your knee.
5. Even though you haven't seen some of these people in the flesh for over four years, picking up a conversation with them is pretty easy.  They'll also readily forgive you for jumping about like a loony on top of Edinburgh Castle trying to dislodge lodged walnut.
