ramblin_rosieNeck hurts veryvery much. :P
BUT
I got my hurried round-about photo tour of Oxford done (and burned up two sets of batteries in the process), and I can honestly say that I've been inside the Eagle and Child. And I got the last of my shopping done; gonna have to go through some things to decide who gets what, but I think I have plenty of things for everyone.
Only pictures I think I have left to take are inside St. Mary's, which will wait until before the closing ceremony.
We had another great morning session. Eleanore Stump was, as one would expect, fairly philosophical. But Chuck Colson talked about how the Christian worldview is the only one that can truly establish a just society, and while he quoted Lewis a lot, I could practically hear Chesterton and Tolkien cheering.
And we got Narnia bags. And Narnia passports to get stamped at the theater on opening night. :)
I did go ahead and order the Oxford set of the lecture CDs, and I think it would be fun (if no one objects) to make that our next topic in Bible study. If everyone would rather go on to Zephaniah, maybe there would be another night in the week when people would want to meet to listen.
Joss Ackland tonight. :) I'll probably update after that. But I won't have time in the morning (leaving here at 6 a.m.), so it'll be tomorrow night before I can post once more.
On the one hand, I'm glad to be going home. On the other hand, I don't want it to be over.
Amusing note: Some of the street musicians in the city center play American folk music! I can't tell you how hard it is to keep from ROFLing when I hear a *banjo* in the middle of England. (Today there was a guy playing worship tunes, which is why I have "Above All" stuck in my head.)
