Too much eating!

After lovely "bacon banjo" as Francis calls it, drove to Oxford in good time for arranged 12.30 lunch with Naomi... waiting on double yellows outside Queen's, no response from her to texts or calls... qualmed parental fears of hospitalisation or worse and had a snooze, sun gleaming, window ajar to catch the fascinating tidbits of conversation from students, tourists and others walking by... Eventually at 1.30 a contrite text to say she'd overslept... Wadham "bop" last night, and despite being completely sober, she felt she had to stay for the "Mandela" - scroll down to (6) here (she's made a friendship group at Wadham, and just been accepted for her Masters there next year - it's known as a more left-wing college...) so hadn't got to bed till 2am...
After failing to get in Brown's (not been since with you BGLeyna, many years ago), decided on Pierre Victoire... lovely, except only 3-course Prix Fixé, so planned nibble became something far more!! - culminating in chocolate fondue to share, pictured. Then back to my college guest room  (WAY better than box room I was given last time) for Liverpool v Chelsea cup final, via WhatsApp over rubbish college WiFi with BGCoffee ... "the best 0-0 ever"... right result in the end, winning penalty scored by our young goalkeeper Caoimhín (Kevin in Irish) Kelleher... Whioooioo oooiiih, as Ady texted...!! 
Then up Cowley Road to NEF Istanbul restaurant - tasty food, good prices and lovely friendly service - but very different from last night or lunchtime - and VERY noisy, not helped by large group of young men (sports team?) in for drunken birthday party... Naomi did her best to chat about life, friends, finals, the future, and I think I caught at least the gist of most of it... walked the mile back to college (Naomi with doggy bag!) to burn at least some of the 1000s of calories gained over the last 2 days!!
