Midday on the River Cam. We had a rare glimpse of real daylight in what has thus far been a rather grey and blustery week. Fair weather lasted, to my delight.
Visitors from London, on a glorious sun-soaked afternoon in Cambridge. Top row (from left): Andrew, Chee Hui, Zhen Qiang, Kelvin, Keng Seng, Weizhong, Darius, Nicholas, Weiming and Haojun. Bottom row: Jane, Kandy, Evelyn, Michelle, Astee and myself. I had initially expected only a group size of about eleven, consisting of the seven people from UCL and the four of us from Cambridge who would be joining them, but was pleasantly surprised when the addition of the folks from Imperial College swelled the ranks to sixteen.
The hovel which is my room, containing uneasily fifteen (the fifteenth being the kind and gracious host who took the picture) very uncomfortable people.
The deep breath before the plunge, and calm on the Cam before it was shattered by the farcical antics of the most inexperienced punters in the world.
All fun and laughter, before we lost the control of the punts to the Cam in spectacular fashion.
And before Weizhong decided enough was enough and jumped abroad in defiance of the intractable currents that were nudging us away in the opposite direction.
