Its been awhile me blogger watchers.
Quick blog after another great formal evening. Darwin College people arrived at Sidney Sussex College for a graduate College exchange. I should be studying but I had a great day, getting through Unjust enrichment. So much fun studying academic discourse with its incredible desire to explain more than the topic allows. So we head out. All my Darwin friends are there. My birthday mate Ciara. My band mates Amelie, Anja and Antoine. My favourite people fron 10 Barton residence - Laura, Arnaud. Nikon our college ambassador, and Jonathon the biologist sitting next to me. I am amongst friends. The party gets a bit rowdy, and Antoine and Lauren are called upon to make a speech thanking our hosts. As we have been a bit loud, they tell everyone that they are from Lucy Cavendish, another fairly staid college, to not have our behaviour imapct our beloved Darwin. Its a great joke, we all howl with laughter.
We have had three great weekends in a row. Sailing in the River Orwell (George named himself after this river, and Artur Ransome's stories took place in its estuaries). The next weekend at Susanne's Uncle and Aunt's 60th anniversary, in Denamrk, eating and drinking a la Dansk. Then last week speaking to colleagues at the Hamilton Law Association's London trip and tickets to Alan Bennet's new play "The Habit of Art"at the National Theatre.
In three weeks I will be finished, and in six graduated. Too fast. I need to slow it all down, get my bearings once more before heading back to reality. This place is so amazing. I miss my kids, family, friends, colleagues so much, but I don't want the sail to end.
