Christmas come early - we have a Christmas dinner, even though it isn't December yet (perhaps it could be a kind of Thanksgiving dinner instead). Countryside ramble - it is such a nice day that I head out of town to Coton for a fine pub lunch. Jon and Evil Pete come along too. A bridge crawl - we go out and cross every bridge from Silver Street to Bridge Street in an attempt to avoid spendning money in the pub. Lions look on as we tackle the Fitzwilliam north chimney. We celebrate with a slap-up meal in the Copper Kettle on King's Parade. A crack at King's - we have a go at scaling the King's porters lodge with limited success, and go and have a full English breakfast instead. Return of the angry Jon - Jon gets back and is not happy with the state of his room. Engineering feat - Que Sera Sarah climbs the monument outside the engineering department, and then goes shopping. I have a dull day. Paper balls - we set up a practical joke to play on Jon whilst he is away visiting his parents, and drink a crate of ale. Climbing Varsity - Julian and I head off early in the morning, and Julian climbs the drainpipe up the side of the CUSU and Varsity offices. We treat ourselves to a breakfast at Steps. Dishes, dishes, dishes - in the aftermath of yesterday's wine tasting party, I end up with a lot of washing up to do. I go to bed early. Wine tasting party - I hold a wine tasting party, and everyone turns up. I end up having my first glass of Chablis, and Rags drops by too, so all in all one of the best days I have ever had at college. Chess and a trip into town - I play a few games of chess against a speeding Linux Kid, and then walk into town to visit Rags, but she isn't in. The evening is rounded off with beer in the bar and bed. A bottle of red - I get up to watch fog in the sky at three in the morning, but Julian suffers a worse fate. During the day I work hard at improving my knowledge for the benefit of my degree and drink some wine, before going back to bed. Bad hair day - hair pervades my life. Enough said. Banalities - my life becomes very boring, and I can't believe anyone would ever want to read about it. Logo - I get a new logo for my site, and walk around town up to the castle mound. Fuelled by nitro - we hold a Night Climbing party in Julian's room, in which much beer and wine is consumed and balloons of nitrous oxide are inhaled. Climbing interest - despite the risks of climbing on a day like this, Evil Pete and Julian attempt to climb the Barclays building on Bene't Street. Celebration and inebriation - we go out to celebrate Adrian completing his MPhil. Acting like a tourist again - as the weather is nice I go for a walk around the town and take some pictures of the impressive buildings that litter Cambridge. I drop in on Rags, a woman from Trinity who I met last night at Evil Pete's. Climbing Cripps - I work hard all day, and then Julian climbs to the top of Cripps. Here is the obligatory pointer to the disclaimer. Picnic in the sun - it is such a nice day that a small number of us go and sit int he garden and enjoy some more Kava Kava. I go to bed early. Polynesian party - we have a fantastic party at which a lot of Kava Kava is consumed, and silly games are played. Recovery - I feel a lot better. People drop round to see how I am doing. Still ill - I have a bit of a relapse and spend the day in bed feeling sorry for myself. A classic moment - St. Peter takes our list of words to his supervisor, and is shocked by the results. I miss out on the fireworks. Fifth week blues begin - the subject says it all. Death of a mouse - a small rodent causes me to become introspective. Rude Romans - we play a trick on St. Peter. And on the seventh day - I take a well-deserved rest from life and snuggle up with a book and a cup of tea. | |
