so i went up to cambridge yesterday to check on the situation......paul is doing very well, he is hacking away at his thesis, i was even treated to a sample of it over a few drinks at the eagle. btu our other friend is not doing so well. it is sad to get a to a point in your life and realise that you have failed to do the things that you really wanted to, and to spend all your time regreting that. but there is nothing paul or i can do to help him, other than to be there and listen i suppose, and to not encourage activity, like falling in love with the vicar's wife, that seem certain to lead to disaster.
cambridge meanwhile, looked absolutely beautiful. it was cold but sunny and i had almost forgot what a really lovely little town it is. i also forgot (well not really) how many good book shops there are there in very close proximity. i even managed to get the last from david mitchell, in hard cover edition, for all of 2 pounds, which suits even my limited budget.
on the subject of books, today is my first day of work, and i can see i am going to be learning about the book selling business over the next few months.
details to follow.
