My first day in Cambridge

Posted on April 25, 2005 By admin 1 Comment on My first day in Cambridge

It's a good thing I have my leatherman with me these days.

So far, I've used it to build my couch, my TV stand and my breadbox. Yes, I have a breadbox. I feel so domestic, saying I have a breadbox. I just like the word. breadbox, beadbox, breadbox. Anyway, as I was saying, with my tools in a box somewhere on the Atlantic, it's a Very Good Thing I'd packed my leatherman in my suitcase.

I'm trying to make my apartment into a home. It still doesn't feel like that yet; more like a hotel. The sofa-bed is actualy really comfortable, and I have high hopes for the rest. I just need to start decorating it. Getting my furniture in will go a long way for the rest. I got my TV this morning, and I should be getting online tomorrow. They're also supposed to come pick up the old furniture then.

Katy and I went on a walkabout in Cambridge yesterday. We walked to the train station, where Katy's going to take her train to work and I'm going to catch my shuttle to work. After that, we walked up to the Granfon Center, a cool shopping area. There are a few shops I'm going to patronize when I get a bit of loose money. Funny detail, when I asked the shopkeepers for business cards, none of them had any. Seems that cards are not a british affectation.

    I have business cards, but it tends to be individuals that have them, not shops.

Quote of the day

The one positive thing you could say about the bread products around him was that they were probably as edible now as they were on the day they were baked. *Forged* was a better term. Dwarf bread was made as a meal of last resort and also as a weapon and a currency. Dwarfs were not, as far as Vimes knew, religious in any way, but the way they thought about bread came close.
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
