I was only away for thirty six hours, but it seemed so much longer!

I had three events and related socialising to go to. I managed the events, and after the first bout of socialising where my current opinion of many male clergy was reinforced, I decreed to myself that I was being foolish, and that the next day would involve event attending, and no socialising afterwards. Luckily, the two stars of the events were very understanding of why this was the case, and both said firmly it was more important to them I was at the event itself!!

On the plus side, I got to have a leisurely late lunch, watching the boats and people go by, I got back here about two hours earlier than I might have done, and my sanity is reasonably intact!
