drizzly

after several weeks of summery weather, i can’t say i’m overly disappointed by this cool, grey-skied, drizzly weekend. it certainly made it easier for me to do tons of laundry yesterday. and ironing. but not enough writing.

friday i met a PhD student for a drink after work to discuss the fates of london’s friaries after the dissolution, and quite a lot about london mapping in general. for those whom i haven’t bored with the details, i studied the jurisdictional fates of london’s monasteries for my doctorate. this guy is more interested in topography (he’s an archaeologist by trade), and i’ll be interested to see what he comes up with.

i stayed in friday night and then went to brunch with steve and ryan k yesterday, after which he got a pint before they headed up to oxford for the afternoon. we went to a bar in angel called “the green” last night. today, i’ve mostly gone to the gym and tucked myself under a blanket with a cuppa and the sunday papers. very  relaxing.

tomorrow and tuesday i’m taking a PHP & MySQL class at work, and andrew arrives wednesday, about which i couldn’t be any more excited. the only downside: we have to find a new flat in the next two weeks, and i’m getting a bit stressed about it. oh, and i’m really bored at work but my boss seems ambivalent about giving me more to do. double sigh.
