Visitors

I don't do a very good job of keeping this blog updated. :(

My parents are coming over today. Actually they leave Atlanta tonight and will arrive in Cambridge mid-day tomorrow. We're planning to do a bit of wedding preparation, go punting, and see a concert at Kings. I can' wait to have them there. I'm also joining my church on Sunday and my parents are coming to that. Jed and I have a friend from Bowdoin coming over for about a week and a half starting Aug 7 or so. We'll probably take him punting too! We really do like to punt.

I think that I'm going to end my job on 31 Aug. That's when my visa expires. Should I apply for other jobs in case my Cambridge job falls through?

The band Uncle Earl is coming to the UK in the fall. Let's hope that I have a job and can buy a ticket!

The flooding over here is terrible. I'm not directly affected by it, but it's so sad to read about the situation in the papers.

Jed's computer is on the fritz. Ah!

Must do some tidying before my parents come.

garden

I can't really post b/c I'm at work, but Jed and I have decided that we're going to fix up our garden at 53 Selwyn Road. Jed and I dug a lot out a lot of weeds on Saturday night. I'll post some before and after pics next weekend. (That's when I'm getting Internet). Saturday was such a great day.

Congratulations, Jed!!

Congratulations to Jed, winner of the 2007-2008 Sidney Sussex Studentship!

this is my new idea

this

I think that I can do it if I start training now. I only want to do the half, not the full. I might convince Jed to do it w. me, but he'll probably only have to start training in early September.

Also, I went to Wimbledon yesterday! It was so much fun and very inspiring. I'll post more about it later. I don't have Internet at home (yet) so I haven't been able to post much recently.

Merlefest Live

I didn't get to go to Merlefest this year. I've actually never been to Merlefest, but I really want to go sometime. Anyway, I just realised that I can listen to the shows online!

Here's the link. Enjoy the great Tunes--check out the Infamous Stringdusters and Uncle Earl. I would say to check out Crooked Still, but I'm tired of them right now. I have yet to listen to the New Generation SuperJam, but I will tonight. I can't turn up the volume loud enough on my work computer to hear it in its full glory.


PS-skf, the book is called the Girls! I wish that I could let you borrow it!
