Loss
I felt the tragedy mentioned in passing in my previous blog deserves an entry of its own. My tuition last term was very disrupted by my tutor, Margaret, somewhere in her seventies, failing to organise tutorials with me. She came to the meeting in 0th week with all the linguistics students, but dropped off the radar thereafter. After two weeks ( Read more... ) -
Oxford - Michaelmas 2010
I have been vicariously reproached by my one reader (hello, Honor!) for failing to blog when I'm at Oxford. Generally, I end up being far too busy at Oxford to have the will to update this, and this was especially true last term for tragic reasons.
As a whole, though, the term has gone fantastically well. The most significant change from previous ( Read more... ) -

My day
Had a fairly random day today so thought I'd document it. It was "family fun day" at work, so I took the parents along to show them where I worked. It was a fantastically bizarre attraction. First we looked at some vintage cars, which, although I take no interest in cars, were pretty awesome. Then we just went around looking at various things. I ( Read more... ) -
Vanity
I'm not quite sure why, but I've noticed that I'm paying more attention to how I look over the last year. I'm not quite sure why this is the case (though I can think of multiple potential causes) but it's manifested itself in several ways: I'm a lot more interested in the clothes I wear now, and I started working out again a few months ago.
The one ( Read more... ) -
Two further points
about last night:
1) I forgot to mention that I received a call from Ben, an adorable biologist whose hair I used to love cuddling and who I hadn't talked to in over a year. He is currently living on the Isles of Scilly. His call made me feel loved despite the distance in space and time. It was most hyggelig.
2) Since when did it become acceptable to ( Read more... ) -
Trololo
Another week down at the warehouse. I forgot to mention that Dave the Rabbi got me some delicious cookies last week, so I gave him a tub full of hand-picked blackberries today, which he seemed to appreciate. Other than cementing our relationship further, little has happened this week ( Read more... ) -
Last week
Last week at work was particularly difficult for some reason. There was a lot more work than usual and on one of the days we didn't even finish everything we had to do! Friday was a nice easy day though because we had to do the inventory (i.e. counting things) and I was paired with rabbi Dave seeing as we work together and get along so well. He got ( Read more... ) -
Weekend and Jews
I had a good weekend in London visiting Annie for the first time in months and seeing her flat for the first time. We went round several charity shops on Saturday and I got two tops that fit me pretty well; I made a curry that night and the next day we went on an epic walk, failed to go inside the Natural History Museum and got some Ben's Cookies!
