Went into town today and met up with 
addedentry and huskyteer who were in town for the day. Thanks to the unexpectedly good weather, we were able to grab sandwiches from the covered market and picnic in Christ Church meadow. After lunch we fought our way past the gaggle of lobbyists to vote in the election of a new chancellor for Oxford University. This noble duty completed, we retired to a pub for the rest of the afternoon for general chatting and copious quantities of cider.
