This blog is superb, Tim, especially the bit about the spell breaking. I can actually picture myself walking back to res after ... wishing we could have stayed there. And now, years later, I smile at my mis-spent youth, with regret, sweetness and lots of nostalgia; wishing I could have appreciated it half as much as I do now. Much Love Timmie, you're there in my thoughts for a lot of the really good years.

I dunno how we managed to get away but the next time we went they'd also put up elctric fences. I only got shocked twice that night.<BR/><BR/>Hehe ...

Tim, your memory of those days is phenomenal. I'd forgotten the texture of the wall around the pool. Have you been back at all since graduating? I took Jon back in 1997, and we went to the Rat which was still full of faces I remembered from three years earlier. I said hi to one guy who had been in second year when I was doing Honours. He greeted me very enthusiastically, then turned to his mate and said, in a tone somewhat approaching reverential awe, "This is Jean. She *graduated*"!!!Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678729608908870257noreply@blogger.com
