Reunion

Andover station 20:42, heading home after an excellent reunion organised by Muras to celebrate 21 years of Britax Exclesior moving to Andover.

I debated about attending, it's a 200 mile round trip and Friday on the M25 generally isn't a lot of fun, but in the end decided to go, but make use of the iron horse.

Good to see lots of old acquaintances, some of whose names I even remembered (what is it with me? I can remember programs I wrote twenty years ago, but people's names - no chance). Also nice to chat with those whose faces I knew, but our paths never crossed workwise - all in all a good decision to attend.

However I do wonder how common a theme it is at reunions to reminisce over the old times and decry that everything was so much better then. I also wonder whether just maybe in this case it's true, or do we just all turn into old grumpies.
