Yesterday evening's shopping was much more productive. Total haul: two pairs jeans (even if one has to be changed, cos it's not the size the label says), four pairs socks, one long sleeved shirt, one woolly sweater. Total cost: 66 euros. That's not bad.

The Graduates Common Room in Trinity - where we went to actually eat breakfast - is very cool. Comfortable chairs in small groups, free coffee, papers and more issues of New Scientist than you can shake a log at, and views of College Green and Westmoreland Street. And the room itself is high-ceilinged, and hasn't been modernised too much - it's still very much in the style of Trinity. We haven't had a free place to hang out in town since the demise of Sci-fi, so it's good to have something again.
