spent day in pub. consumed : one jug of pimms (didn't taste quite right - group conclusion was too bitter due to not enough fruit salad), four measures of baileys + milk, soss-beans-chips, mint bombe.

v. little gossip. lots of chat and discussion and bouncy (and once again jim harping on not understanding why people slash supposedly straight male characters while me and Cathy eyerolled a bit - he's never going to get it, even after I told him 'look, women and men who slash see relationships differently from you. You see sex as spoiling it. We see it as bonus or natural segue.) Laban brought his small daughter Maddy along. Maddy is being brought up as a geek, with a love of dressing up in superhero costumes, and today was wearing a Batgirl t-shirt. We were all suitably jealous of her childhood. Me and Alycia spent much time playing with her. Glared at the various people who suggested that there was a resemblance. Maddy may be blonde, cute, and excessively bouncy. However, she appears not to come with an inbuilt sarcasm and scepticism device, nor is she visibly plotting your downfall. Also, when she does the cute big eyed face, she's trying to get something with it. She's not doing it as a joke.
