Well, it’s Wednesday morning. It’s nice and sunny, if a little chilly outside.<\/p>\n
Now, what has been happening to me since my last confession? Let’s see…<\/p>\n
Yesterday, I went to work. This isn’t particularly abnormal, however, being
\ninvited to got and feed ducks (read “give ducks indigestion by feeding them
\nmouldy bread”) by two women is. This is what happened yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Basically, I was chatting to two of the 3rd year undergrads in the department
\nfoyer about this and that and their stressing about exams etc. when at the
\nend of the cnversation, randomly, one of them, Kat, asked, “Does anyone want
\nto go and feed some ducks later?” It being a nice, sunny afternoon, Rachel
\nsaid yes and looked at me expectantly.. “Yeah, ok.” I said.<\/p>\n
So, at about 6pm the three of us wandered into the University Parks, down
\nto the duck pond and started feeding the fowl… who them went into a feeding
\nfrenzy. This wouldn’t have been so much of a problem if a couple of common
\ngeese, a canada goose and a rather large male swan hadn’t have been in the
\ngroup. However, one athletic malard drake took the biscuit by being able
\nto jump int the air to catch peices of bread in mid air. Somehow, I think
\nhe’s got a lot of practise of this maneuver.<\/p>\n
This morning, whilst cycling past Computer Assistance on the Cowley Road,
\nI suddenly remembered that I’d forgotten to pick up an Amiga A500 I’d promised
\nto take from someone trying to get rid of his. I was supposed to turn up
\non Monday evening at 7pm all the concern about ants and my house had pushed
\nit right out of my head. So, I’ve sent a very appologetic e-mail to the person
\nthis morning. I wonder if he’s given it away to anyone else in the meantime.<\/p>\n
Update: 10:15am<\/b><\/p>\n
The bloke who was offering the Amiga e-mailed back saying that he’d given it to someone else. I didn’t much like the tone of his e-mail really. OK, I did forget to turn up but I appologised for this as much as is possible so there was no need to get shirty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
