we just had our farewell for lydia. she's going back to caltech after a term here at cambridge. they all went for formal but i couldn't a ticket in the end cos it was all sold out :( would have been nice to have a formal with them.

the farewell was goooood. :) her mum came down and we gave her presents and even wanted to put on a little concert cos we had 2 gifted guitar-players! i need to learn how to play the guitar!! and ooo the tiramisu and blueberry cake!! yummmm. :):) sometimes i'm surprised at how good sainsbury's basics really are.. especially the desserts!

right, really need to get some sleep for tmr's clare ragetta! i'm rowing with the first boat as a sub. it should be goooood :) hope we win it or at least get as far as we possibly can! saw the draw and we're basically up against grad students in the very first round! bahh.. that just isn't fair. but WE WILL WIN!! so there!
