Morning: After breakfast, I tried to get my network connection percolating. No luck; I suspected that someone at Lady Margaret Hall had taken exception to my freeloading on the wireless network and had banned me. So I read an annoying book I’m supposed to review, and waited till the end of the choir’s rehearsal to take Si and Adrian (another choir member) down to do some errands in town. We bought Si a new nosepiece for his glasses, bought another packet of laundry detergent, took out some money from the cashpoint at the bank, tried (and failed) to induce a teller to give me change with which to do still more loads of laundry, tried and succeeded at a different bank, walked back just barely in time for lunch.
Afternoon: cleaned up and headed downtown to tour Magdalen College and then Christ Church, then to rehearse at Christ Church for Evensong, then the nightly double-time stroll back to LMH, where we dined in relative solitude as so many of the young people were being taken out for dinner by tour parents.
Evening: After dinner, Margaret started the next (we hope it’ the final) round of laundry here, I juggled photos (not ready to post any just yet), and we shared a few glasses with some of the other adults in the entourage. Margaret is enjoying a leisurely bath; I’m dashing a few words into a blog. We’re both quite weary — but tomorrow is another day.
