Ok, so it wasn’t the ocean, but it was the River Cam. Today was geological punting day, and so, having stocked up on many provisions (including lots of food, drink, and those cheerful little brollies that you put in your drink), we hired a couple of punts from Scuds. We spent a cheerful few hours on the Cam, and got to Grantchester Meadows. Essentially it was a fun day with the geologists, as HS is leaving before the Sedgwick Club Party on Thursday to go sailing (which is fair enough, given that she’s probably going to be in the 2016 Olympics). After that, I came home, and had pizza for supper with RS. All in all, it’s been a fun and relaxing day!

If You Go Down to the Woods Today
Seriously, these exams were unhealthy! Last night, I had another nightmare about them, which is weird, as I’ve finished! Essentially the dream was that I was doing the O9 practical, completely messed everything up totally, didn’t see half the questions and ran out of time in a panic. Fun stuff!
Anyway, today was a lot of fun, I woke up and met up with some of the guys, and we went to buy picnic supplies, after which we went punting. The weather today has not been quite as good as yesterday, but we enjoyed a great picnic on the way to Grantchester. Eventually, we got to Grantchester Meadows, where we moored for a while, before heading back home (we decided that Grantchester proper was too far to punt today).
Tonight we’re having a generic party in AW’s kitchen which ought to be a lot of fun. Overall, a pretty fun and relaxed day!
