Weekend in Oxford




My weekend in oxford consisted of staying here b/c of the bad weather. Doing a "pub crawl", shopping of course, and museums. Incidently the other rooommates moving in were hospital workers. We share this flat with shift workers that live here for a few days while they are on, and then move out until the next time.
The Pub Crawl started out all right. We had dinner at the first pub. I had "bangers and mash" sausage and mashed potatoes. I wanted to say I tried it. Not my favorite in the world but I ate it all now I can say: I had some.
The next pub was fun, with young people, lots of atmosphere, but it ended abruptly when one of my roommates got sick all over the other one. It was so bad, and it might have been a bug from the hospital, food poisoning from dinner at previous pub, or just bad luck. Anyway, I had a weekend of nursing and mothering. It was her first time being sick away from home and mom. I hate being sick and away from what is familiar. So we tried to make sure she was okay.
Today, Sunday I went to the Museum of History of Science. it was flipping cool!! Best part was the exhibition "Steampunk" Show. I kept thinking of my little sister and her art work. It was like History buffs, meets art, and results in science fiction. Really cool. and words honestly cannot explain, but videos can:

Tonight I am teaching my roommate how to make Pumpkin Pie, with sweet potatoes b/c the whole of Oxford does not have pumpkins this time of year... and Pecan pie because she loves it!! I will let you know how that turns out!
