Melissa knows the way to a girls heart - Peanut M&M’s and Sparkling Water - I have a feeling my classic emo food might come in handy over the next few days… tonight is our last in Oxford and I’m all over the show. Emotions. Raaa. 

But, we had a BBQ at Tim’s with the KBCTC remnant and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to go - enhanced by great food, guinea pigs, one narrow escape from a bat attack, swiss ball volleyball (cheering squad), gymnastics lessons and lots of laughter.

The photos will appear in due course!

While in Derby we also visited the Textiles/Design/Photography campus of the University. It was the day before their end of year show opened and we wandered in and out of corridors looking like we were supposed to be there. It was inspiring. 

I love this photo Kim took of Dan.

I don’t know when we became the type of people that take photos of cats, but whenever I look at these I think of Wildcat by Ratatat and it makes me smile.

The power of the whiteboard

If we learnt anything during our track placement, it was the simple power of a good diagram. Usually drawn on a whiteboard. Complex and abstract ideas became concrete shapes with definite colours, pointing to other shapes in a meaningful way. 

Those hours spent with Aled and Ben and the Whiteboard were thought provoking and therefore brilliant, setting us up for the next couple of weeks to engage in some pretty robust discussions around upside kingdoms, changing cultures, big vs. small, grass roots vs. ivory towers.

Come on.
