Lost: In an Adventure!

I went on an adventure today! Actually it was to crystallize the grand scheme I've been hatching since last week, haha! But I spent some time talking to one of my lecturers, Dr. Peter J. Grout, after lessons and he spent a good forty minutes just telling us about his life. It was really lovely! And I thought since there was nice weather today, I should go out for a good walk while going about my grand plan! And it did me a lot of good - I realise the sun cheers me up a lot, as does beautiful blue skies. :)

So here's the start of my day - I realised a tidy desk helps me to work better:

And well, I usually start my day with cereal, but I really like cookies drenched in milk:

Breakfast - Cookies and Milk
And after wolfing down my breakfast (yes I woke up a little late at 7:30 am), I went down for Mathematics lessons at the PTCL:

Physical Chemistry Laboratory
And after lessons and the long chat with Dr. Grout, I went sight-seeing a little, and lol and behold, I found a new college today: Keble College!

Keble College
And guess what? It's found along Keble Road, haha:

And the computing laboratory's found along the same street too:

Just opposite the grand college that is Keble:

Grandeur, Keble College
And of course, walking down Keble Road brings me to Banbury Road, where the church of St. Giles is located:

And it houses a quiet cemetary too:

And it has a quiet backyard, although it's quite plain now in autumn:

Some people sat down in the cemetary reading:

Quietness and Stillness

Those Who Walked Before Us
And here's the entrance of the church:

And just across the street from the church was my destination, Little Clarendon Street! But I'm not going to tell you what I came here for:

If you head back to the city centre along this stretch, then you'll see some interesting buildings:

First Church of Christian Scientists

The Word of God

And the skies were gorgeous today! I just had to snap it:

Lovely Skies
Here's some British humour for you at a news-stand:

British Humour, Hur Hur Hur
And how often do you see this, how quaint:

The 'Telly' Phone
And the glory of our God in heaven, manifested in His works of creation:

The Glory of God in the Skies
And then I walked all the way to Beaumont Street, on the way back to Jesus College:

Beaumont Street
And here's what lies along the street of Beaumont:

Including The Randolph, a very expensive restaurant:

That's all for now, toodles! I'm feeling quite happy after walking around, albeit tired. Heh.
