Picnic Time for Teddy Bears
Tomorrow there's a little get together in Stephen's Green around noon for anyone who wants to come. Richard and I should be identifiable at the gates opposite the shopping centre from our respective pictures or the fact that we're already shouting at one another. If anyone is going to be late or any some such thing then pop me an email and I'll send my mobile number which I promise to remember to bring. Presumably it'll just be a different way to spend a lunchtime and I imagine we'll be there until half one or two (then some of us have to return to the pain of corrections) so don't worry about being late. If it's rainy or cold we can still meet at the gates opposite the shopping centre and decide on somewhere else to go, but hopefully that won't be the case. Latecomers can then ring.
Feck it, I have to go to a film at 12.45, otherwise I'd go along. Pity it's not an evening gathering, you might get more of a crowd.
Enjoy - and I'll keep my fingers crossed for nice weather.

We'll have to do an evening gathering sometime as well, but for lazy old researchers like me and Richard who work when we feel like it (am generalising...I work when I feel like it, don't know about RW), any excuse to not be reading and writing in the afternoons is good!!

Fiona,
Great to meet you yesterday. Hope to do it again soon. Antonio from italy is hoping to meet some Irish bloggers during his and his wife's imminent visit.

Hi Fiona,
long time ... anyway, sorry I didn't get to make it to the picnic. As you know I had planned to be there, but my daughter has recently developed an insufferable and inexplicable phobia and cannot be near flies/spiders/bugs of any classification these days for fear of death by insect bite, so having no real reason to torture her I thought it best to avoid the park! How we will make it through a summer of barbecues, picnics, beach days and general countryside rambling with this new phobia I really don't know. However, sorry to have missed the picnic - maybe we can do an indoor event complete with obligatory bug-sweep next time. In the meantime - off to the match! Go on Leinster!

was indeed a lovely time and nice to meet everyone :D
beth - yeah was a pity you weren't there but sounds like the little one has a pretty traumatic summer ahead. I hope she gets over it. I developed a phobia in my young childhood years that's tormented me ever since...
