March saw the end of “finals” and trips to Exeter, Bristol and Belfast ( :: see here :: & :: here :: ), which is where i’m off to tonight for the second time in a month, this time for the easter weekend.  Hopefully will catch up with a few friends, not to mention family and probably sneak in a bit of frisbee.  This month also saw a few weeks of beard growth…

Aside from that, the tail end of March has been rather ‘dry’ with lectures having started back, and most other students being busy with essays and looking forward to getting home for their weeks of holidays.  However in saying that, there has been some entertainment – be it an afternoon jaunt up to Loch Lomond, a night bowling, or a few afternoons playing “Flag Football” (aka touch american football).  In fairness when I first turned up, I was pondering the fact that this could be pretty dull as there is so much stoppages in NFL, and lets face it we like it when things are happening in sport.  However, I must say i’ve really enjoyed it.  Those 15-20 seconds of non-stop adrenaline rush, the tactical discussions, the switches, the improvisation, the blocking and the psychological battles combine to create a cracking spot of physical exercise for a Sunday afternoon.   And so tomorrow begins April, anyone any ideas for April Fools?…
