h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sorry I didn't see you again after the walk on Saturday. I hope you and your family had a great day.

It was an honour to shake your (lovely warm) hand, anyway - your avatar on Trello doesn't do you justice

I soon warmed up - it was rather hot after a while, and noisy too, so 3 hours was my limit but I was glad I went

See you around!

Yes, I was a little sad that I didn't spend more time with you, but I'm sure we'll meet again! I must say again, I'm so impressed with all the work you do, and very grateful!
And the noise really gets to me too, it doesn't take much for me to give up on conversation, and just sit back and smile at people... And then I'm tired for a while afterwards.
Do you live far from Manchester? I hope the travel wasn't too exhausting on top of it!

Thank you I do enjoy it so much. I appreciate all the work you do, too - it's a great team!

Yes, conversation in the noisy environment was tiring even though Pastey did most of the talking work while you were on the walk, which was good, and I think he rather enjoyed too, but after your walk, I sat with TRiG, who was even more tired, and we mostly just smiled at each other for a while! I was honoured to be in the presence of famous h2g2ers - I had a word with 2legs, and a few other people I've seen around but not really interacted with before, so it was a good mix.

It didn't take me tooo long to get there and back - probably about 4 hours travel time in total - but it was still quite tiring. I didn't sleep well on Saturday night either because I was buzzing after all the excitement, but I'm refreshed today after a couple of good nights' sleep!

I hope you've recovered well too, and I hope your family enjoyed their holiday! I'm looking forward to the next Meet now, and I'll make sure I'm more organised in future so I meet more people when I'm less tired and you and I can have a longer chat in person some time
