This is one of those days where I really enjoy being an Oxonian.
It started off with a drive into work with my beloved![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cheshcat. I dropped her off at her new job on my way into Oxford University. Then I spent the day meeting with a small group of colleagues that I am working with on a very interesting neutrino oscillation project. At midday, we had a nice lunch at the French restaurant on Little Clarendon Street; at five o'clock, we went to the Lamb & Flag for drinks.
Around half six, I bid my colleagues farewell and picked up my dearcheshcat on the way home. We spent a little bit of time, then I was off to St. Andrew's Church, here in Headington[*], to ring bells. Tonight was the monthly "advanced practice", so I got some good practice on my Grandsire Triples and, more importantly, my Stedman Triples.
Just before the ringing practice ended, I ducked out and drove over to the Barton pool. Jumped in and managed to swim 2000 meters before it closed for the night. Came home to tuckcheshcat into bed, and now am writing this entry.
I didn't leave Oxford once today but, all in all, it was a pretty full day. The sensible thing to do would be to go to bed now; however, I am heading over to Littlemore[*] to attend an Election night party hosted by the ever-excellentayaron. Yes, I know that it is a bit crazy to go out to a party at half past ten on a Tuesday night -- especially when I have a meeting in East London tomorrow. What the heck, though; tis only once every four years!
