needless to say, everyone in oxford has a slightly rickety bike

if you were to look through all my pictures from oxford, you would see that i am eating in every single one.

this is because 

a) i was trying to stop smoking then.

b) sightseeing makes a person hungry.

things i was eating:

a) apples

b) olives

c) peanuts

d) bananas

e) a combination of same.

i've stopped smoking now! now i just chew gum all the time (orbit complete strawberry, but dan says this gum called Five that comes in a flash box is the way to go) and eat a bajillion almonds and peanuts. mae put on her coat the other day, stuck her hands in the pockets, and pulled out a handful of peanut shells.

"i see you borrowed my coat," is what she said.
