The Midnight Train to Farnham

Oxford Street at night, swing dancing at the 100 club and falling asleep on the train, after having paid for a ticket that no one collected. Monday night, in a nutshell.
I should actually go back to Oxford Street when I am not in a terrible rush because the window displays are actually really really cool [...]

Sort of a low weekend

Haven’t posted any photos from the past few days, largely because I haven’t taken any. I opted not to attend the past few events on campus, money is part of it, but also, I just needed to catch up on some sleep. Been sleeping a lot.
Went to train with Farnham Rugby on Thursday, played a [...]

One man’s rubbish…

The Aldershot Car Boot Sale. No matter how I try, I cannot say that fast. Not a bad collection of other people’s rubbish. Mostly outdated videos and baby clothes, but I managed for find a nice leather jacket and some swing CDs.
The Freshers moved in today, at least most of them. Our house is nearly [...]

Fireworks over Farnham

For some reason, fireworks were being sent up. And there were a lot of drunk folks, especially the Wardens.

Farnham Castle

I often get asked “why did I come to the UK?”, and it’s usually more like “What the Hell are you doing in this shit town called Farnham?”. If I am feeling whimsical, I might say “Well, America doesn’t have any castles.”
Built in the 12th century by the Bishop of Winchester. Besieged, sold, rebuilt, turned [...]

Maltings

At Maltings, watching amateur musicians being amateur.
