Anyone for Tea?

By Poxy!

This weekend has been interesting! We started out on Friday by heading up to Faye's house for a dinner-party type thingy (for which I had to borrow my Dad's dinner jacket) to celebrate her and her fellow students finally becoming real doctors, and playing a bit of jazz - on a Casio keyboard! A good time was had by all, but by this point Wes had broken out with a large number of blotches which divided opinion amongst the Doctors as to what it actually was.

Returning to the flat after a morning back home in Edgware on Saturday afternoon yeilded the news that actually - yes - it was Chicken Pox, cue all the other flatmates ringing around their parents to ascertain whether they'd got it when they were children - it seems we all did. So while it seems that he's going to be out of action for probably up to a week, we shouldn't get it!

Most of the rest of the weekend - before our, now pretty predictable Sunday evening of Church followed by Nandos and a video (this week: Seabiscuit - 5*s !) - was taken up with programming the new version of SongBase - the software that Wes originally came up with for use in church for projecting the words, it's starting to look good and the church laptop can definitely do 'Dual Screen' provided that it is configured accordingly - some more testing is still required though to see what stuff we'll need to support in order to make it work. And it really does seem that the 'background' feature is something they REALLY want, so we might just have to put out an interim version - for testing purposes ;-)

Hmmm.... just thinking aloud there, tonight it looks like we might try and get some more of 'Crouching Phil, Hidden Morris' filmed - especially the bits with Jason in, as he's off to Cambridge soon. But with Wes's current state, I expect we may have to wait a little while before we can finish the bits with him in!
