Arrived: Midday Wednesday 21st
Sammy and I walked around some of the colleges perving on the courtyards that so grandly watch over the halls. Incredible buildings and beautifully simple gardens. Later that night we went to a Farewell for one of Sam's fellow Pembrokians. It was really fun and it was nice to linger in anonymity once again and gradually watch myself come to life. Wine in plastic cups and travel stories and ranting about the psychology behind WWII is always a good way to impress people! Being the expert that I am. It was really fun. I remember going to the bathroom and walking past Sam with a massive grin on my face. It was nice to have such an honest smile on my face.
Today I wandered aroound a little meandering track out the back of Christ Church (where Harry Potter was filmed) and then wandered past Magdelen (sp?) college and small rivers and bridges. Then I found Blackwell's bookshop and spent hours sitting down flicking through some books, reading my latest book (which feels like I am holding a premature mirror to my face) and drawing somerough sketches whilst sipping coffee. I overhearda fath telling is son that eveytime someone 'googles' something the same amount of energy to make a cup of tea is expended. I am not sure which variables they are taking into account. I guess the constant running of google divided by the hits per day...not sure... but interesting little piece of thought. I then got myself lost amongst the alleys looking for some bread... but not that lost because I found bread and found myself back home eventually. Now I am going to go for a run. If I write it done it may happen! and then Sam and I are going to a formal dinner but not before some port, sherry and cheese.
