On Art and Caffeine

Exeter CU's opportunity week of events has come to an end now...and Boy did I sleep well last night? Well, Boy? He's not listening.
Anyway, mostly I have been doing stuff for that, and also fitting in some work as well. I have been doing a fascinating assessed translation from middle English to modern english which is due in on Friday.
James' brother and Lucy's sister have been down, so of course I suggested we go down to Boston's for lunch yesterday. Afterwards, in a fit of cultured obsession, James and I headed for the Museum where there is an exhibition of Devon Landscape art at the moment. It was very interesting and made us realise we need to get back to Dartmoor as soon as possible.
Another interesting recent discovery is that my caffeine tolerance level is incredibly low. I felt knackered on Thursday so (rather foolishly) I took the easy option and had a quick coffee before my seminar. My seminar was then cut short by an hour. SO I was sat there, catching up on some reading and completely unnecessarily tanked up on coffee, just one cup mind, to the point where I was physically shaking. Then I nearly had another one before my delayed seminar started but I thought 'no, can't be reliant on caffeine'. And I found the intellectually stimulating conversation we had kept me going anyway.
