Note to self: when having an early night because it's work tomorrow, it is then important to not stay awake reading until past 5am. Srsly. That's just stupid. Damn you, Elizabeth Moon, and your fascinating world-building. I now know more about fictitious spaceship technology than I ever thought I'd find interesting.

So... tired... and... undeserving... of... sympathy...

We went out for pizza on Saturday, and had a confusing old time with a voucher.

A: "Oh, just before you ring the bill up, we have this leaflet that says 'Present this for one main meal free when you buy a main and a side'. So, here you go."

Waiter: "Yes?"

A: "Yes. So, that's okay, right? We checked with the waitress before we ordered."

Waiter: "You have a voucher?"

A: "Yes. This."

Waiter: "Yes?"

A: "...Yes."

Waiter: "You have a voucher?"

A: "Yes. Here. This. This is the voucher. This."

Waiter: *takes it* "This?"

A: "Yes."

Ah, there's nothing like having a conversation where both sides just say "yes" at one another for ages. Still, lovely pizza, lovely mozzarella salad, lovely semifreddo and espresso, and they were okay with the voucher/leaflet in the end. And it was in a castle. Sort of a castle. The closest Oxford has to a castle.
