// Making coffee in a French press -- so exciting! I plan to purchase one when I return home.
// Our lecture this morning on Spirituality and the Metaphysical Poets. I do believe my face glowed with happiness the entire hour. John Donne, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw... it doesn't get much better.
// Picking out postcards at Blackwell's Art & Poster Shop
// Having dinner in the backyard with my lovely food group
// Studying in the Upper Reading Room at the Bodleian. Whenever I looked up from A Grief Observed, I could see statues perched on top of the building across the street set against a sparkling blue sky. And the room itself sported old portraits in gilded frames, stained glass, and many academics typing away on their laptops with piles of books at their side
// A nutella and peanut butter milkshake from Moo-Moo's (per Derek's recommendation) -- delicious!

So lovely to see your happy face!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I ever told you that we even went there after we dropped you off, but we went to Blackwell's Art & Poster Shop and I simply loved it. I bought a To the Lighthouse poster and Mom and Dad bought me the set of 100 penguin literary postcards for my birthday! what postcards did you get?
And did you make dinner for your food group? What did you make?
Miss you! I'll e-mail soon . . .
