"You sure you're working as hard as I am, 'cause I'm sweating spinal fluid here"
- In The Loop


A mere two years between entries isn't that bad, surely? Given that it's been a while I'm going to ease myself back in with a picture heavy general catch up.


The top five points worthy of note since I last frequented these parts:

(1) Cambridge

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

We moved down to Cam'shire twenty-odd months ago and despite the fact that it's often filled with toff-faced wankers and the world's most irritating and slow moving tourists I pretty much love the place.


Cycling into town alongside the River Cam


King's College


Lazy summer days spent at Mill Pond


Harry Potter wannabe?




(2) University

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Everything that you've read about the place is probably true. The workload is soul destroying, the fellow students are irritatingly youthful and naive, and there are very many days when I wonder quite what the hell I'm even doing here.


Physical Anthropology


Endless reading


Endless caf trips for refuelling


The usual look of harassment


Primatology




(3) Mini E

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

She's FOUR. What. The. Fucking. Hell? In September I'll be the mother of a child who goes to school. Our time in Cambridge have resulted in her adopting rather a posh accent, much to my amusement. One day I hope to take her up to Yorkshire and watch her bewildered expression as she tries to work out what the fuck anybody is saying to her <evil>






(4) Leisure Time

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Thanks to points (2) and (3) this is pretty much non-existent for at least twenty-four weeks of the year. Mini E has developed a love of museums which certainly helps the cause, and she's just the right age for adventuring. We started camping last year, I've booked to take her to Paris in April, and we might try a few weeks of inter-railing in the summer all being well.


Brighton Marina


Cycling is as good as compulsory


Cheeky Monkeys Tea Party


Museum of Zoology




(5) Devil Cat

I needed a number five as my life isn't that exciting








So that's me. What's new with you, and what have I missed?

1) I bet Cambridge would be lovely if it wasn't for all the tourists. Kinda like shopping in a number of ways.

2) This is why you have it so much harder. Maths? No reading. Everything else? Reading.

3) I can't believe she's four. I mean, I remember earlier blogs. That's amazing.

4) Interrailing? That'll be awesome. Jealous.

5) I have a cat. Technically my housemates, but he loves me more than my housemate.

I am still in London, have a beard now, and am doing a second degree. Live continues averagely.
