half a weekend...

I had to work on saturday, and it surely sucked. At least it's only one saturday a term, and the benefits are ace. The worst thing was, I woke on thursday thinking thank goodness it was friday, only to have that brief happiness crushed by not only one more working day, but two!

So. Saturday was out for doing anything exciting - but on sunday Anna and I met friends for a late brunch (mmm, pancakes with fresh berries) (I ate fruit!!) - and afterwards we went to social event no.2 which was drinks for a friends birthday at a whole foods market. Quite an odd choice of venue, but there was lots of unwholesome drinking. The party ended up at our place, but no pics to post of anyone getting untidy.

I did however, run around the King's College library on saturday before opening, and take some pictures. The Round Reading room is (quite?) famous - and is mentioned in the Da Vinci Code (where they go to do some research). Our office runs off that clinically green corridor ; there is an amazing old chapel ; and that's the outside of the library. Not a bad place to come to work every day...

Weather update : still absolutely freezing and has been for 3 months or more now. It's about 3 or 4 degrees in the mornings. I got all excited last week cos they predicted snow, but it didn't ever fall in London.... Sigh. We now have an extra hour and a half of daylight - sun up at 7.30, and dark by 5pm. And that's an improvement!
