Would you've liked a present too?

There was a lot happening on Sunday! We had the last day of Leodis Requiem at Wharf Chambers and some big birthday celebrations too. Thanks on Delia’s behalf to everyone that brought the lovely food along – a veritable feast it was. Somehow we managed a truncated Seven by Seven session as well – blowing the whistle early so folk could get off to watch the Euros final if they wanted to (well done Spain). Jon-G then took control in extra time and kept Delia’s after-show party going. We’re not the only ones with a book apparently. Here’s what we crammed in before 7pm:

And then...

After the official end to Seven by Seven there was a hard core "what football?" crew left over. Given it was Delia's birthday do as well I volunteered to run an extra "unofficial" session which started out with a list of 8 names (plus me) who hadn't played – which quickly went down to 5 as some let the football fun get the better of them.

Thanks to Mark, Cathy, Steve H, Christopher and Sophie for playing 5 records (which started as 4 but went up as people dropped out). I appreciate you putting up with my tipsy (drunk) organisation. And to Delia and Nat for partaking of the 2 extra records round as well as the above. A lot of fun was had – not too many pictures but I'll dig out the ones people sent me. Cheers as always to the Seven by Seven crew and Wharf for providing such a fabulous space.
