Today Ben and I set off after my strange tutorial with HBC towards Wytham Woods to join some other people for badger watching. We bought some tomato and mozzarella baugettes and cycled through Port Meadow towards the Abbey ruins. However, by the time we'd reached the ruins it was already quite late so we decided not to go and instead ate the sandwiches there. While ben sat on the broken Abbey wall I went around taking pictures of the meadows filled with buttercups and cow parsley. Across the road was a field with cows and tall cow parsley plants. I managed to get some shots of the plants sihouetted against the setting sun. However, the best shots were from when I placed the camera on the ground and just took randow images of the flowers above it. It was great as I never knew what the next shot would look like.
We cycled back along Port meadow and found some people who were setting up a bonfire for later in the evening (similar to the one in Hilary Term).
We then went back to Leckford and cooked some food along with Liam, Simon (my college dad), maths Michael and Ben's other friends.
Once back at Hertford I found Amelia and Alice outside smoking on a bench. Marja had also come back from her date with Daniel and was very drunk. Apparently they'd had a few after dinner cocktails...
We walked with her around the Rad. Cam. to try and calm her down (she was lightly hyper) and watched as she did an interpretive dance of the evening (wich included many 70s moves and thrusting in our general directions..). Once outside the big wooden gate at Hertford we found Christina who had been dropped off by a taxi. She'd hurt her foot whilst out at Risa and was in loads of pain. So, we went to the lodge to get another taxi to take her to the hospital and sat with her on the pavement while we waited for it to arrive. At this point Marja was still really drunk and started heckling random passers by. To a couple she shouted "Lovers! Lovers! No luck tonight, sorry I don't want a threesom!" and then "bald man! why are you bald?!" to a passing baldie. Once the taxi Amelia and Alice went with Christina to the hospital while I made sure Marja got back to her room safe.
