Christopher’s Manchester Weblog - Summer 2005 - Days 8,9, and 10 - Tyndale, the Trip Home and Launda
Return to Manchester…
Well, its been a few days, largely because of the lack of email. So here is the catch-up on everything beginning with Tuesday:
Tuesday
You would think that still being under 35 that all the running around on Monday would not have left me in bad shape at all for Tuesday. You would be wrong. Meant to wakeup at 645 so I could pop down to Starbucks to use their internet connection, but 6:45 came and went, and I finally leaned how to use the snooze button on my alarm clock. Finally at 7:30 I figured it was now or never if I was to make breakfast.
One of the many things that I forgot to take with me on this trip was my good razor. So I bought a packet of cheapie razors at Boots. The reason I discovered they were so cheap is that they were single blade razors. All I can is that it’s a good thing my platelet count is up these days, or I would have found out how good the ambulance services are in Cambridge. After much blood and even more cursing, I was shaved, showered, and dressed and on my way to breakfast. I would have worried about the appearance of my scarred and still bleeding face but, this is Tyndale, where the folks with doctorates dress like bums and the grad students look like they are trying to impress someone (which, we are of course). I think the green tie I was wearing took the focus off of bleeding.
Breakfast was a non meat affair! It also was devoid of anything nutritious. I believe I now the derivation of the term “continental breakfast” now. If you come to Cambridge from the Continent, you wont have any money for anything other than a roll and a croissant.
