I've been ...

To London twice last week (Tuesday for a seminar, and Wednesday for a Board meeting).

Up to my parents for the Bank Holiday weekend, where we ate barbecued trout, drank wheat beer from "Bottoms Up" at 2/3 off, saw relatives (including my second-youngest cousin, at seven months old), and shot clay pigeons (me three, Creatrix four).

Reading "Complete Short Fiction" by Oscar Wilde, "Collapse: How Choose to Fail or Survive" by Jared Diamond, and "The Lake of Darkness" and "The Veiled One" by Ruth Rendell.

Planned my trip up to Trent Bridge next Saturday, to watch the third Test against Sri Lanka.

Buying too many things on eBay (DVD, CDs, waistcoats, a Tolkien first edition :-))

Soothing Creatrix, after she tripped over the tablecloth she was carrying while on a gravel path.

EDIT: Trent Bridge is on Friday, not Saturday!

Ooh, going to see the cricket. I was tempted to spend the £20ish heading down to Edgbaston and getting a seat but the rain would have meant I'd have wasted the day. At least Channel 5 have the highlights despite Sky's having the whole day's play. I did like being able to watch the whole day's play on Channel 4 and get highlights later if I'd missed anything.

And what First did you get?

A very, very minor one - a letter on Esperanto. But hey, a first is a first, right?

(Or, as its capitalised, a BSc in Maths from Essex, 1987).
