aleathielWell, we lost the race but we had a good time even though it was pouring with rain and freezing cold.
Afterwards we went to formal hall at Magdalene College - all old and lovely and candle-lit. We were a disgrace. The Magdalene boys completely took us down. The pennies were out before the starter was even served. (Pennying = strange tradition when you must immedietely down whatever drink the penny is dropped into. Very quick way to get large group of girls disasterously drunk. The more drunk you get the more rules of the 'game' you forget and consequently break meaning more downing as penalities).
Rowed again in the rain today in training for next Sat's Clare Novices race. I'm so very very cold! Yay for showers and hot chocolate!
