That my goal for the summer is to get even more flexible and learn how to do the centre splits. What's your short term goal?
Alternatively, what would be your ideal costume at a fancy dress party?
I've decided I want to be Beetlejuice for Halloween this year, so either that or the Wicked Witch of the East.

I took it easy at first, as I didn't want to drink too much too quickly, saving it for the club (ridiculously cheap drinks anyway). By the time we got there one of us (not me, surprisingly) was in an awful state, so I only had one drink and we left.
Still got tipsy though, on GIN. You do anything interesting?
I'm really happy for him. He's not had a great time of it over the last...4 years, seems like things are looking up for him. Earth Sciences? Sounds dreadful. Apologies if Physics is secretly Earth Sciences...

I had a quiet one at home. A little concerned for my flatmate who, I presume, is still in St George's Hospital with something funny going on with his chest. I'm just wondering whether I ought to phone his girlfriend again and find out whether anything else has happened.
Earth Sciences is basically the Geology department, of which T, M and R are all former inhabitants...not to put him off. I also know a couple of people in the Ocean Modelling group that's been lumped in with them, though I don't know much about the Materials group, to be honest.

to fix a leaky valve in his heart. And recently he's been doing a lot of cycling, to and from work in particular. They were on their way out just as I got home last night and he said his heart was hurting. They were walking to the hospital (or at least to the bus stop) so it wasn't crippling at the time, and the doctors said they wanted to keep him in overnight for observation. I might give her a call in a bit.
Hahaha! No, he should be alright. I don't think the geologists and materialists have much to do with one another, and if nothing else the ocean modellers are generally a lot more sedate! Plus T and M came back from the Bottle Match bemoaning the lack of enthusiasm and passion in the "younger generations" of geologists. In any case, I'm sure he'll be perfectly safe!
