Took me a moment to figure out what a desmond was. I have almost resigned myself to getting a desmond – the only thought that consoles me, is that a desmond at york is worth a 1st at cambridge… or something like that.

Played in a charity tennis tournament yesterday – didn’t win but fun was had by all. also a new layer of sunburn was added to my forhead – mayhaps I should get some sunblock?

Not satified with only three hours of tennis, I joined Chris and Kyle on a run. We ran a breakneck pace to what might have been lendel bridge (I can’t be sure) in town via the millenium bridge. Overall it took us 50mins. Chris and I decided, to the amusement of kyle, that we would run with our shirts off and chant in the manner of US marines. By the end we were glistening with sweat and rather red so I took a photo for prosperity.

We then had a fairly epic bbq round the back of the block, by the lake. £5 for a good sized disposable bbq. I my rainbow trout – wrapped in foil and no more than 5mins each side. Absolutely lush and tasteful. As an added bonus, the skin stuck to the foil and peeled away in an effortless manner. New potato and spring onion salad (with the merest hint of dressing) accompanied this – also tasty.

At £2 for two in M&S, you just can go wrong really!
