I fly in a couple of hours. Again. Flights are alright… it’s the mere thought of having to go through the lines at Heathrow that makes me tired.

The girls have taken over
This feels so odd. The guys have all left for HK. It’s only girls left in the house now – four of us. Squealing and screaming, fending off girlish antics. It’s almost like being back in an all-girls dormitory! A rare occurrence, given that Imperial has the highest male:female ratio in any British university.

‘QuGee’ as a moniker for our original household came about in an unoriginal fashion. We were living on Queen’s Gate… shorten that to QG, and read it out aloud. There.

I went with my Group’s Beavers (the really young ones) to Downing Street for some good fun. While I was preoccupied with making sure that the kids didn’t spray paint into [...]
In B&W

Music on the Thames
Went with a group of friends (current QG, future QG, ex-bio, family friends who were visiting London) to the Royal Festival Hall last night for one of its signature performances. The London Philharmonic Orchestra was so good! They’re the ones who did the soundtrack for the Lord of the Rings, among other films and pieces.
