I appear to have survived being a Roman.

But I fear it was only by the skin of my teeth.

A fun quiz evening I think, but once again we were doing well all evening (2nd) only to be pipped into 3rd place at the end. By the other Library team (again). And once again, they took first place for costume and we took second. (We suspect it wasn't so much the excellence of their outfits - which were ok, but the popularity of their French resistance tv comedy).

But we definitely had the better food!

Speaking of which, this might clear up some misconceptions:

I'm away all next week - so come back in 10 days time or so.
