unexpected outing

I have had a lovely, but not at all productive evening. the Ore Deposits seminar ended at 17:00, I went home, read briefly in that archaeology book I won this summer, then decided I should go to the computer and be useful, about which time a text message came in to the Phire group chat reminding us about the picnic/bbq planned for tonight (which I had forgotten about, and hadn't planned to attend). I thought to myself "I don't have the energy to go back out tonight", and walked to the computer.

They roasted hotdogs and chocolate stuffed bananas, we played with LED poi, and there was music bluetoothed from a phone to a portable speaker.
