Ipswich Town's Championship Position - 16th
Currently Reading - Another World by Pat Barker
The rain is falling on this Monday afternoon. I'm stuck in limbo between lectures this morning and korfball practice at four. Mentioning korfball, we had great numbers at the session on Monday after Refreshers week, four new players which is brilliant, that's half a team! I'm not sure how much of the sport I'll get the opportunity to play after graduating but I know that I'll make the most of it while I'm in Wales. I did learn from one of our newbies, who's from the Netherlands, that korfball is mainly played in the more rural parts of the country because of its traditional roots. Maybe we should see korfball as the Dutch equivalent of Morris dancing, just with less black face, so maybe not.
Saturday was probably the most significant day this past week. Myself and some friends sat for most of the day in a pub watching the Six Nations action, Scotland v Ireland and England v France. Both Scotland and England won which means that as much of my family is Scottish and I'm English, I was happy both ways. The pub visit was cut short after a phone call with Bex, who had managed to cut the top of her finger off (nice). After dealing with the gore of a cooking injury, we went to the theatre to watch a student production of Titus Andronicus, which I was incredibly impressed by. I'd studied the play last year and the production by the company, 'Blood Sweat and Tea,' really did it justice.
The blog post wouldn't be complete without a mention of the Tractor Boys, who managed to get a point from third place Reading, with Welsh wonder-kid Tom Lawrence scoring twice. I didn't watch the game but it seemed like Ipswich's performance was a huge improvement on previous results.
Today's photos (all but one) were taken in my kitchen on Sunday morning. I love the way water is captured in photos, the individual droplets picked up by the flash are tiny microcosms. Constant beautiful carnage.

We have mirrored table mats, they came in handy.
