This morning at work we had a big company meeting at 9.30, with orange juice and pastries. Apparently 110 pastries cost about £50+ from Sainsburys. The vice president praised us for all our hard work. We all got a bottle of wine at the end of the meeting. This breakfast meeting and the wine is much appreciated.

In the evening it was off to the monthly archaeology meeting. This evening's talk was by Keith Parfitt on Roman villa at Folkestone. I had no idea that it was there, over at the warren. We must have even walked actually over it without realising. It was originally dug in 1924 and again in 1989 and last year. They have plans to go back again in 2011. When they go next time I'd like to go and have a look. When they filled it in 1957 to protect it, they used waste from a local furnace waste so they had to be very careful when they uncovered it next as it was like black coal dust.
