day off, Cambridge University Press

Today I miss breakfast, but luckily I still have a banana sitting on a shelf in my room. Now, naturally, it doesn't exist any more.
At about 10am I get ready for a run through Cambridge. I jog out of the college and by the Cam, which is still in the city of course, but also quite green. The weather is just right - not too cold not too warm. Still, when I get back to the college I'm all sweaty and my head's as red as a tomato.
At 12:30pm I wait in front of Edinburgh building on the Cambridge University Press for an old friend and colleague to pick me up. We've arranged to meet for lunch on the site of CUP. It is brilliant to talk to him after such a long time!

Next I get a free tour of the company. We walk down the corridor of fame, as I'd call it, with the most renowned authors whose works the CUP has published. Only to give you an impression of whom I'm talking about:

James Clerk Maxwell

Raymond Murphy

Stephen Hawking

Noam Chomsky

Bertrand Russel

Ernest Rutherford

Then I walk into town to open an English bank account which turns out to be more complicated than I thought it'd be. Apart from my ID card they want a bank statement from my German bank to prove that I have a permanent address in Germany, oh well, why should they care? Now, I'm going to have dinner first and then see if I still find the energy to go to the pub later on.
