Friday: Attempted pancakes at combibo's again...disappointing. Chocolate chip were okay and the bacon pancakes were just a stack of pancakes with bacon dumped on top of them. Wandered primark with fk. Got new fake glasses because N. stole my banker ones. Had last secondary tutorial with Edward. Of course, he took my essay at the end- the one where I wrote in the last sentence/did not title because he NEVER looked at them himself before-but went pretty well and obv Joyce was a much better subject than something else. Then wandered Oddbins to find Argentinian wine for the Tovs/M&S. Dressed in black dresses to make like sex and the city, since rooms is obsessed, and walked to Jamal's for some Indian and Ine's send-off. Went really well at beginning. Senore showed up/everything went to hell/bad news for rest of the night

England game at Red Lion again! and stood next to guys dressed in crazy costumes with sheep balloons handcuffed to their arms.

Then slept a bit more, went to Tuck for coffee and covered market for salad, library, bought the floral oxfords I've been coveting for about a month, finally got some more dinner points/chilled outside w.
