Oxford: Where your best is never good enough.

This is apparently a tagline that graduates have given the lovely university which is Oxford. And that's how I feel every Monday at 5:00 as I'm saying goodbye to Josh, my Shakespeare tutor.

Fun Facts about the UK (inspired by Robbs). Simon told me these:

-It is illegal to die in the House of Parliament.

-Any stray whale's head on the beach is the king's property. So if you're walking along the beach and happen upon a whale's head, don't touch that thing. Also: the tail belongs to the queen.

-In York, it is only legal to kill a Scotsman if he's holding a bow-and-arrow.

I need to get back to my book (The Man Who Was Thursday). How's this for beauty:

"In the wild events which were to follow this girl had no part at all; he never saw her again until all his tale was over. And yet, in some indescribable way, she kept recurring like a motive in music through all his mad adventures afterwards, and the glory of her strange hair ran like a red thread through those dark and ill-drawn tapestries of the night."
