Welcome to America, McHugh!

Will Conor's arrival be celebrated like this?

Drink, drugs, philosophy and knitting

Hi all,

Hope things are going well for "the McHughs" in New York. Things seem to be going well here, we came second in the quiz despite being a pretty depleted team. More impressively, we won the jackpot, which was a whole £13! It's always nice to win something but £3.25 each is quite hard to get excited about.

The Stirling weekend away was good fun, but pretty uneventful. We were in a beautiful place and Chris K., Tom C. and I had a nice walk on Saturday. Otherwise there was much drinking, eating (including some of Chris' special brownies), a little philosophy and lots of good banter. The staff were pretty restrained on Friday but let rip more on Saturday night. Unsurprisingly, Kent was still going strong at 5am... I am now officially the most boring person I know having spent more time knitting than drinking, going to bed early on Friday night and not indulging in Chris' cakes at any point over the weekend. I did go for a quick skinny dip on Sunday though, so I guess I'm not completely done for...

Anyway, there are photos of the weekend available on my flickr page (in which everyone is fully clothed, I'm afraid).

Ciao,
Lottie x

Ciao fools!

I've noticed that in recent times there has been a bit of a lack of activity on this here blog. Is this because nothing of interest has been happening? With Mr McHugh's impending departure to Noo Yawk I thought someone should try and revive it... I am expecting regular updates from you, McHugh (and it'd be nice to hear from Lisa too). In return I shall make sure that there are regular updates from this side of the pond.

At the moment there's not really that much to say. Things are continuing as normal over here. I'm gradually regaining an interest in philosophy but am still dedicating far more time to knitting than anything else; professors Roberts and Ward are finally getting a chance to destroy Noe in person on Monday; renegade scientist MacMorris appears to be working himself into an early grave and has recently recruited a suspected facist to his cause; the Italians have been celebrating the recent improvement in their rugby team's fortunes and everyone is preparing to celebrate the aforementioned departure of McHugh (I jest, of course, he shall be greatly missed during his operations abroad).

Anyway, it has been pointed out to me that I've been rather lax myself in updating both my flickr page and my photo wall. I can reassure you all that this is now in the process of being remedied. I've added several new sets on flickr and the physical prints should be winging their way to me in the next couple of days. You can all find pictures from the mexican party and our trip up Ben Lomond (amongst others) in the usual place.
