Whoops missed a bunch of days. No time for paragraphs so here are bullets and a few photos of everything I’ve been up to..

Friday (Sep 7)

  • Went to Down House (Charles Darwin’s house)
  • Walked along his daily thinking path, called the ‘sandwalk’
  • Discovered that Darwin had 10 children! (perhaps testing his ‘survival of the fittest’)
  • Went to the Royal Society to begin my research project on Euclid’s Elements (their 13th century translation is one of the society’s oldest artifacts). I was allowed to touch it and turn the pages at will which was very cool and made me a little nervous.

Notes

  • IT STILL HAS NOT RAINED THE ENTIRE TIME I’VE BEEN HERE
  • Every time I plug my laptop charger into the wall adapter I see sparks (big ones). If I stop posting it may be because my stubbornness about not buying a voltage adaptor lead to my laptop being destroyed (or it may just be because I got lazy).
  • Oh also I went into a club and a casino (albeit both rather briefly)
