Pudding Party the Third

The third Churchill Pudding party. No wine and cheese this time, but abetter showing overall than last year, I think. I love how happy thethree of us seem to be, here.

That’s no Moon!

Aran’s latest construction, which he made on the cheap and looks fantastic, as well as resembling a Death Star under construction. It gently pulses and it’s quite easy to lose yourself in it.

Scholar’s Feast

After the induction ceremony (which, frankly, was awkward) we needed to kill forty minutes in the bar, so the Senior Tutor bought everyone a drink. The girl behind the bar looked pretty alarmed at the queue she had to serve.

Trick shot.

A magnificent comeback, and one spectacular shot to put the icing on the cake. All three yellows and the black were on the cushon; I potted all three yellows to three different pockets, leaving the black over a pocket with the cue ball next to it. Glorious.

Something Wrong

I’m no botanist, but I don’t think that trees are meant to flower atthe same time that they’re shedding their leaves.

Ice Skating

I went ice-skating today for the first time in too many years for my liking. The lack of teeth on the skates threw me off for a bit, but I adapted quite quickly. My one bugbear was the number of tiny kids blazing around with no regard for who may or may not be about to runover them.

Christmas Lights

Not spectacular, but not so poor as to be embarrassing. I’m a big fanof the blue strings that seem to have been all the rage the last fewyears.

Pav Second Room

This photo is thanks to Felix. He felt that Physicists being in the second room deserved documenting, for whatever reason only known to him.

Wire Wool

For the last two years, I’ve heard wonderful, wonderful stories about poi made out of wire wool. Everything I had heard about them paled in comparison to actually seeing them. Phenomenal, and spectacularly unsafe.

Natsci Formal

I think this is the point were Gen was talking about obfuscated C. The expression on Abby’s face says it all.
