Cambridge

[enismirdal]

I'm thinking of going to Cambridge sometime in mid-October. This is all the thought I've applied to the idea so far. Times, dates, activities and who I will be visiting are still subject to confirmation (and open to suggestion!). If it includes an opportunity to collect that book off ewx, that would be fantabulous, of course.

It's most likely to be a Saturday or maybe Sunday. Will probably come on coach, as coach leaves from Aldgate (2 tube stops away) and takes 1.5 hours, and is £8.50 or so for the day, whereas train leaves from Kings Cross (>2 tube stops, and a change at Whitechapel or Aldgate East if it's a Sunday, as some bright spark deemed my tube stop not worthy of a Hammersmith & City service at off-peak times), takes nearly and hour and dumps me a mile outside central Cambridge rather than right in the thick of things.

Having earned some money from helping at the party, I've been treating myself and ordering a few things off my Amazon wishlist. Unfortunately the three Irish Dance DVDs I really want atm are all only available from the USA, so will take forever to arrive when I order them, and the main seller is Caiman, who I hate. So I guess I'll have to wait till I'm feeling both rich and patient.

Am REALLY hoping Nina's Heavenly Delights shows at tuxedo_elf's local cinema so we can go and see it next weekend, but the listings are rather ambigous. Have e-mailed for more information... *crosses fingers, toes* I'm visiting her anyway, and bringing Lambrusco, so a good time will be had.

Re-live the memory lane

LOL *pets* Good typo!

Yes, I really want to. Of course, because it's a weekend I might have trouble getting into Plant Sciences and surprising everyone in the tea room.

Ooh, that reminds me...I need to e-mail Nora and mad_natsci and ask how they're getting on now...

[cobalt-skye.livejournal.com]

Oh, is Nora doing a PhD/postgrad thingy?

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she's at JI doing the rotation PhD course thing.

Weee you are going to see Tuxie! How awesome! Lucky youse!

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Tuxievisiting is always great! Too bad...the cinema e-mailed back to say they're not screening Nina, so we'll just have to get drunk and watch DVDs. Not that I have any complaints about that!

I'd be happy to bike the book to wherever you end up in Cambridge (within reason, if it turns out to be Cherry Hinton I might ask you to meet me half way l-)

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Awww! It won't be Cherry Hinton, I can promise - I wasn't planning on going beyond the centre and Arbury. I was actually thinking of getting a bus to near your house and just dropping in whenever suits you. If I'm on the go already, it's no trouble.

*hugs* *bounces*

FYI there is also the train from Liverpool street which takes longer than the train from Kings Cross and passes through Broxbourne (is that a suggestion).

Oh, I guess there is. I could certainly consider that on the outward journey and stop off for a visit. Wouldn't want to do it both ways as then the total journey time would be considerably in excess of any other transport method, but I'd like to see you! :)
