Well, well I'm pretty amazed on what is actually happening here...for the last few days its been like a week in April. It's around 13-15C, the sun is shining, no clouds on the ski and my garden looks awesome. Hope it continues like this and doesn't deteriorate. We went cycling yesterday and rode around the eastern part of Cambridge covering almost 40km in not more than 3 hours. There has been plans to eventually ride down to the seaside to Harwich, which is about 90 miles away...Anyway, I've been enjoying the past few weeks: Karolin visited me for a long weekend, celebrated my 30th birthday, got promoted to the second boat, had dinner down at Gray's Inn ect.
The focus has been on rowing lately. Being on the second boat, means more outings, more ergs and a more serious team. Even the boat is better quality. We usually take of at 6:45am, and row up and down the Cam for about two hours. Then, other days we work on the ergs: 6 x 500m and 2 x 5000m. Its hard work be it does help you concentrate better, gets you up early in the morning, avoiding late night drinking and sleeping in.
Karolin was over for my 30th birthday. She was really impressed by Cambridge, I must say. I took her around the major College's (Trinity, Peterhouse, Fitzwilliam ect.). We mainly ate out. Cycled around town. Even went to the cinema, checked out the exhibition at Fitzwilliam Museum. I've just noticed over these few days, what a tourist attraction this place is.
My birthday went easily. The night before we ended up down the County Arms (an English pub run by Chinese, with Thai food on the menu, crazy :). Of course Jeff started ordering tequila shots...the rest is up to your imagination. The next day was Pancake Night, which is some sort of Anglo-Christian tradition, marking the start of Lent, so my birthday was celebrated with pancakes and a Cherry Pie donated by Karolin...this evening ended the same way as the last...
Just recently I had an e-mail from the Centre of European Legal Studies, that our March trip to the EU Institutions has been somewhat finalized. We're leaving London on the Euro-Express to the Continent and shall be visiting the European Court of Justice in Luxemburg, having dinner there with the British Advocate-General, popping down to Strasburg to check out the European Court of Human Rights, and then finally visiting the Commission in Brussels. Since I've never been to either, so I'm very much looking forward to it.
