Brrr….Grrr…GRRR!!!

After receiving a rather threatening comment from Sarah, i thought i’d better update my blog.

Yesterday was the coldest day of my life yet, with temperatures plummeting to -3.
And i was exposed, defenceless, to this temperature. Why?

CAMBRIDGE BLACKED OUT.

At least, the street where i live (Trumpington) blacked out. no streetlamps, no shop-lights. and worse-no radiators!
I was a tat bit annoyed. I mean, i have LOADS of anatomy to do!!!
Armoured in pyjamas and slippers (ineffective against the Scandinavian wind), i went to the plodge, only to discover that the poor porter is pretty lost himself. Being home alone, i thought it best to remain in the plodge. The porter left. The plodge became dark.

“No point staying,” i thought. And retreated, wounded, to my humble dwelling.

I spent the next hour prowling the corridors, shivering with cold. With that hateful beeper beeping incessantly.

Her Royal Excellency, the Electricity of Cam made her comeback after an hour.
Her faithful subject, I welcomed her joyously.

But that hateful beeper beeped through the night.
