The city of the dreaming spires and also endless rain.

I got up at arse o'clock yesterday morning so that I could go to Oxford for breakfast. I went in the kind of mood where I would brook no barriers to me having FUN, and this is precisely what I had

Sounds epic! Glad you got so much fun! Sorry about the sinuses.

I want to go to the country of magic cakes!

I think that's called "the oven" tbh.

I knew there had to be a downside.

those are very tiny lobsters! also, holy shit you put some fabulous food in your face. sounds like you had a fun weekend - well, aside from getting sick - but dude, the food! yum.

[apiphile]

Spiny lobsters, apparently! The food was incredible, I strongly advise eating small lobsters whole if you ever want to feel both blasphemous and monstrous in one go.

I also passed a sign reading "a meal without wine is called breakfast", which frankly I call Quitting Talk.
*snort* i think that's exactly the path you're on, fella

holy crap that is a majestic outfit i envy it SO MUCH

SMALL, OVER-DESIGNED MINIMALIST COOKWARE
I KNOW THIS FEELING WELL.

I tried it, agreed that "angel arse really is delicious", to which the recommender said, "i know, i've been to Heaven*" and then I realised how much of the prior conversation had apparently been flirting

...i can't believe you actually get to live this life i mean really. eventually i'm sure you'll figure out when people are flirting with you but really, derek.

I WANT STAR CIDER CAN YOU DELIVER

met ten thousand dogs, ALL OF THEM BRILLIANT
nobody should object to having dogs pointed out. el & i go on walks specifically to admire dogs and infants, and the occasional undersized asian lesbian.

Brilliantly, I got ill on Saturday night and NOW i DON'T WANT TO DRINK because I feel like POOP.

Pro-tip basically no part of that outfit is from anywhere special, it's all ASOS, New Look, and Doc Martens. THE KEY IS THE CO-ORD as I'm sure the gothic lolitas say.

eventually i'm sure you'll figure out when people are flirting with you

I can if they're women, now? Mostly because it just makes me crazy uncomfortable? Also like, dudes who straight up just come in and bite my neck/stick their number in my phone aggressively. That's probably flirting. But uh. I'm still pretty good at being able to rationalise it into "condescension" or "just being nice" because I CANNOT POSSIBLY BE ATTRACTIVE.

I cannot deliver but I am pretty sure Montreal has cake decorating shops and fruit cider.

I like the way you shouted about cream tea/afternoon tea on facebook and then MADE THEM MANIFEST in your life.

That sounds like a good weekend except for the illness. Well done.

It's because I wind myself up when I can't have something that I have to go and make sure I CAN have it. Er. When that's possible, at least. Slightly harder with the stamping around Oxford DEMANDING TO BE GIVEN A RUGBYIST. (None materialised).
