Despite an externally lovely weekend I have been in a generally foul mood recently. I don't know why, but I seem much happier today. On Saturday G and I went punting almost up to Grantchester with robinbloke and zotz. R was a punting virgin, but after his deflowering he seemed to punt very well. Lovely time, nice picnic, some wine, pleasant conversation, and all back safely in time to return the punt to college.
In the evening, we had been invited to several parties, but G was overcome by sudden sleepiness and went to bed. I was seized by despondency after reading a thread in a local newsgroup saying how awful our prospective letting agency are, and thought I would be better off going out and socialising than sulking in my room on my own. So I went off to the party at Relativity, and had some excellent and motivational chats to SA and dreamingchristi, before playing a long game of Apples, which I eventually just about won, inasmuch as it is possible to win that particular game (i.e. not really!) Then walked back, part of the way with Sebi, and was again seized by pointless gloom. Got back about 4am, to find G now awake and bored. He got annoyed when I complained he'd left rubbish lying around my room, and our disagreement persisted until the next day.
On Sunday, we walked over to G's place. G for his part was now in a bad mood, while I was feeling a little better, so I suggested getting something to drink to cheer us up. We got some vodka and lemonade, and began drinking it, when G discovered that assorted goths were going to the Portland Arms that night. After a little quibbling, we decided to join them, and walked over there with sj. Although everyone there was extremely friendly and pleasant, I still felt irretrievably sulky. Afterwards, back at G's place, we made a collaborative fry-up in the middle of the night (having forgotten to eat dinner up till then), drank more vodka, and watched Aliens. Rah! Finally went to bed...and today, although nothing in my external situation has changed, I am once again filled with cheer and motivation. I shall work on Greek today.

We must do it again! Maybe starting earlier this time as mentioned, but it was very nice and relaxing - just glad the weather held!

All letting agents are more or less shit, I'm afraid. Opinions vary as to which are the best of a bad bunch. Ask around enough and you'll hear horror stories about all of them.

If you were worrying about the cam.misc thread about Russell, then we are with Russell and whilst it seems they're fans of charging you for all kinds of nonsense and messing things up, they're generally able to sort things out if you moan at them. I don't think they're much worse than the average bank, for example.

"I don't think they're much worse than the average bank, for example."

A better illustration of the phrase "damning with faint praise" would be difficult to find :-)

Hockeys were not altogether evil for us, I must say.
