CUSFS

[altariel]

Just come back from a smashing evening with the brilliant folks at CUSFS, who gave me a slap-up dinner, and then I gave them a talk about reading SF, and writing fanfic, and writing profic, and loving B7. Then lots of fun discussion about new Who and old Trek. I was a member of CUSFS *cough* nineteen years ago, so it was lovely to be asked to go and talk to them.

The room where I gave the talk was at my old college, so I took ten minutes beforehand to dash up to my old room where I had a chat with a couple of young women now living there, who rather sweetly didn't mind having a complete stranger pop into their kitchen on a Sunday evening and blather about living there nearly two decades ago.

It really does. I don't know if you've been up there recently, but the huge wooden cupboard has gone, and they've remodelled the bathroom so that you can no longer get in from the roof. It felt bigger and airier. The kitchen is still an inch square though!

I haven't actually been up there in years, but I've wandered through the grounds more recently.

That wooden cupboard was a fixture! How wrong to remove it :-(

I know! No respect for tradition. And the piano in my room has gone too.
