merrycontrary and juice817 here and still in one piece (each).  london fabulous.  oxford familiar, which means am of limited use as touring companion.  ("what do we see if we go on the bus tour instead of the walking tour?"  "... i have no idea.")  feet tired.  have been walking probably more than any time since arrived a year ago.  in fact over two days in london lost four of the pounds i've gained since moving into new building (and therefore walking much less every day).  conclusion:  must make genuine effort to return to gym on regular basis, once conference paper is done and freshers are here and have more than half hour per day to self.

occasionally find self regretting accent, as hard to be identified as local-who-knows-where-she's-going when accompanied by two guests from out of town whose accents are similar to one's own.  do not mind being identified as not from around here, but do not wish to be subject of assumption that nobody in group knows anything at all.

stratford tomorrow, and two shakespeares.  yay!
