mizarchivistHokay. I could have done some of this yesterday but didn't.
British Air experience quite good. We are traveling essentially on K's excessive air miles, so we did the business class upgrade n' all. It meant I didn't have to worry about getting fed. I never sleep well on a plane, but the fancy of those that recline to mostly flat help some.
One of the determined activities of the trip: Borough Market. It made the most sense to drop our luggage at King's Cross (after an hour on the train) and check that out. It's really amazing, as one would hope. I'll be uploading pictures of the cheeeese shop (where they were discussing Wensleydale, but had no bazooki) and the huge 3 foot diameter cooking vessels- the mostly flat type- filled with curries and such. K acquired random tasties and we had fish n' chips before heading towards our hosts in Cambridge.
Tom and Carol live about a half mile from the train, and the walk showed no really, this is spring. There's green grass and buds on trees and flowers. Envy. The remainder of the day was relaxed, chatting, tea, nap, dinner, watched The King's Speech, and went right to bed.
It's vacation, right? So sleeping past 10 not that bad a notion. Today the only plan is to explore Cambridge a bit. Tomorrow: PicoCon.
Ah! And belated birthday to WeeGee! Hope it was a lovely day-hugs.

(like my Brit-speak?)
Have a fabulous fabulous time. Cambridge is utterly wonderful. If J had gotten a post-doc there instead of Durham, we might never have come back to the US.
