Second Sunday

Today was the second Sunday of our trip and our first service at the baptist church. There was a guest speaker because they are presently without a minister. Some of the timing on the music was off, but besides that it was a pretty good service. After church finished we began the progressive lunch.

I began the progressive lunch with spicy tomato soup that burned my mouth and also bread. It was pretty tasty even though it was quite hot. At this house we discovered that pretty much everyone at the table played a musical instrument and the idea of a jam session was raised. It sounds like a good idea, but sadly I do not have a trombone and I doubt anyone has one to let me borrow. I would still go check out a jam session though.

The next meal was roasted lamb, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, parsnips, gravy, zucchini, etc. It was very tasty. Oh also there were sausages.

Then we had pudding (dessert) which wasn't really pudding at all. It was very good though. Some sort of apple crumble type thing only it was more like cake. Also profiteroles, custard, lemon pie, some thick cream, and yogurt.

I guess you could say that I ate well today. After the final meal all of the hosts and students met at Marion's house for coffee/tea (or fizzy lemonade if you are me and don't like either tea or coffee). To end off the night I read Merry Wives of Windsor for class tomorrow.

Things to look forward to:
-Tuesday with no class (serious Bodleian study day)
-Presentation on Friday (woohoo!)
-lunch at RPC
