Whose Hall?

Got up this morning feeling shattered and hungover - really must cut down on the booze. Or maybe it’s a bug. Went to make some coffee, but then remembered I’d run out. So had to make do with tea, as a result of which I’ve still got a splitting headache. Having burnt the toast, I decided to opt out of today and have a day off, as my next assignment isn’t due in for a fortnight, much to my relief. Should really have gone to Tesco’s, but couldn’t be bothered with the hassle on a Saturday, so went for the easy option and stayed in instead.

I’ve finally decided it’s time I saw more of England, so this afternoon I started reading a bit about Cambridge. The book I’ve got talks about loads of people, the vast majority of whom I’ve never even heard of, but I have to admit that lots of the places it mentions do seem worth seeing. I didn’t know that Grantchester was so picturesque. Nor did I know that there’s a famous tearoom there. The Orchard. Really must go with my colleagues sometime, but I’d much rather we waited until the better weather. And then, of course, there’s King’s College Chapel, and all that stuff about Henry VIII – not to mention all his unfortunate wives. Horrendous.

Should really make an effort and go to London - even more to see there. It’s just that it seems so much hassle, and it’s always so hectic there. But I know I’m being a bit pathetic. I just wish I could get my act together - I get quite annoyed with myself at times.

But that’s more than enough of thinking about culture for one day. I think that tonight I’ll just chill in front of the telly. Nothing depressing, though. So definitely not the News. Maybe I’ll watch a film – something light. Or maybe just some sport… Oh, and I see that there’s a documentary on BBC5: “Flying Bikes: the transport of the future?” Intriguing - I quite fancy a flying bike….

谁的大厅？

今天早上起床后，感觉心力交瘁，宿醉难耐–真的必须减少酒量。或者说，这是个错误。我去煮了点咖啡，但后来想起我的咖啡已经喝完了。所以只好用茶来凑合，结果我还是头痛欲裂。烧了吐司后，我决定今天不干了，休息一天，因为我的下一个任务还有两个星期才到期，这让我松了一口气。 我真的应该去乐购超市，但在周六的时候，我不想麻烦，所以选择了简单的方式，留在家里。

我终于决定是时候多看看英国了，所以今天下午我开始读一些关于剑桥的书。我拿到的这本书谈到了很多人，其中绝大多数人我都没有听说过，但我不得不承认，书中提到的很多地方似乎都值得一看。我不知道格兰切斯特是如此风景如画。我也不知道那里有一个著名的茶室。果园。有机会一定要和我的同事一起去，但我更希望我们等到天气好的时候再去。当然，还有国王学院教堂，以及所有关于亨利八世的东西–更不用说他所有不幸的妻子。太可怕了。

真的应该努力去伦敦–那里有更多东西可看。只是这似乎太麻烦了，而且那里总是那么忙。 但我知道我有点可悲。我只是希望我能够振作起来–我有时会对自己感到很恼火。

但是，今天对文化的思考已经够多了。我想今晚我就在电视前冷静一下。不过，没有什么压抑的东西。 所以绝对不是新闻。也许我会看一部电影–轻松的东西。哦，我看到BBC5台有一部纪录片：“飞行自行车：未来的交通工具？” 令人感兴趣的是–我相当喜欢一辆飞行自行车…。
