Yesterday morning I was down on campus for 10.30am. This unusually early start was intended as a way of getting some early French Cricket publicity, but due to a decree from the warden that trying to flog stuff to The Fresh is probably a little too stressful for the first day, I ended up cruising around campus with DDS and Ginger Rich for quite a while.

We took lunch in the new look EHB (a campus bar/restaurant), confirming further that the place really does look like an airport departure lounge and talked labcoats - DDS and my new little project. The morning was spent drafting up a poster design for the sales which are all being handled by young Currin leaving me purely as the design partner. Cushtie.

There seemed to be a good buzz about Towers during the new arrivals. I periodically popped in to see what was going on and then later came home, gave DDS and Rich the remote for the TV and got on with some work until Lucy arrived for a visit.

Once everyone had departed and the rest of my housemates were back we went and picked up a crate before having a couple here, then heading over to Broomy's gaff for a pre-Towers bar get together. Devito was working on firepanel duty down at the Union and that left the rest of us to get involved in the first night celebrations. After a good few hours of socialising and catching up with people, Culsh drove us all into town where we picked up the trail in Lloyds then on into Echos. Apart from having to come home in the rain, it was a pretty good night.

This morning however wasn't so easy. The CF card for my new toy arrived at about 9.30am which woke me and from that point on I slowly have been sobering up. Yoli called with the computer guy at about 11.30am, The Swan was still in bed and so they worked around him to fix the socket in his room and after they left I made some lunch, sorted some work out and watched a film with Rufio (Human Traffic). Still not feeling 100% though.
