But normally when you have people who want to be at your establishment so you normally tell them to go to the competition? She replied, “ Lamb and Flag.” I’m not sure if she was joking or not. When it was our turn the guy behind the counter asked his female co-worker where two people could sit. There was a line almost out the door when we got there, so we didn’t know that we needed to find a table first and then order. Like the other restaurants I’ve been to here in England you order and pay at the bar before yo get your food. This pud was the meeting place for the Inklings the literary group with J.R.R Tolkien, C.S. Our destination The Eagle and Child, or as the locals call it, “The Bird and Baby.” You might have heard me talk about this place before and you’d be right. Neither of us were really hungry be we went any way. We had made prior plans to eat out tonight at a pub.
A coughing attack ended that idea and I went back to reading my book. She’s been re-watching Home Improvement and I tried to watch Aquarion Evol, but my Ipad wasn’t up to it. If it had been for her, she might have gotten it.
the mug was the last one and there was a little crack on the rim. She found on that had the design of the British empire, but she didn’t get it. When Aimee got done with class we went on a walk to Poundland and a couple other stores looking for a mug for her cousin again. While she was in class I read a little from “ Daughter of the Forest” and tried to sleep a little more. I was done with classes for the day, but Aimee still had one to go. If it was an option I would skip the tests tomorrow and head home than hang around here waiting for the end. I mean I hate theses days when there isn’t much you can do because you’ve run out of time to do something big and you’ve done everything small. I would at least be nice to be healthy enough when I fly home T~T I don’t want this to end really. Guess that might be a sign I’m on the mend… Maybe. It all tasted good and I cleaned my plate, the first time in a couple days. Lunch today was spaghetti with garlic toast and that bowl of applesauce I didn’t get at breakfast. It was very sad to hear him make his animal noises for the last time and see him bow at the the end of his lecture. People that were covered included Benjamin Franklin, William Byrd, Benjamin West, Sir Benjamin Thompson Lord/Count of Rumford, Charles Dickens, Charles Waterton, Oscar Wilde, and Sir Robert Stawell Ball. He talked about American’s who impacted England and English that were celebrities to the Americans. Chapman’s last lecture was about the relationships between Anglos and Americans. Thankfully no flying stinging insects came for a visit during this time.ĭr. All the coughing the night before makes one tired and stomach muscles sore the next morning. There was a bit of a break between classes for me, so I curled up for a short nap. If there is one thing that I would like to see, it would be Nigel and Swain go at it in a debate about the “ dark ages” If I remember right, Swain hates it when the time period in question is called the “dark ages” Both of these guys know they stuff and it would be a very close match. The one I chose to pick at wasn’t looked at by the class but I put answers forward for the one that was. He then gave us a sample question and had us break it down into how he wants our answers written. Now if I can’ keep to example from those texts and not pulling from outer outside sources I’ll be just fine. Writing about the Iliad and 1001 nights will be a snap for me. There will be three sections and we have to write to two of them. Today he didn’t start with another quiz, but told us what to expect for our final tomorrow. On the last quiz I got 100% and a very large smiley face with big teeth. I had my first “last” class with Nigel Frith right after breakfast. Today should be our focus for a little longer yes?īreakfast this morning was two pieces of peanut spread toast and a glass of OJ. No, that’s tomorrow and it hasn’t come to pass yet.
Tomorrow is the last full day and test day. Its hard to believe that a month has come and gone so quickly. Chapman lecture really hit home that this is all coming to an end.
