    Of Unusual Troma Nights

    Well, Paul's mid-Troma Night fire was still on, so after watching The Wicker Man we all raided the nature reserve for wood, raided the filling station for petrol (mmm... accelerant) and went and set up on the beach.

    Hollywood Pizza were good enough to bring us our pizza on the beach, which was awfully nice of …

    Fire On The Beach

    This is what makes Aber great: that somebody can suggest a fire and a couple of hours later there are over a dozen people huddled round a pile of wood, separating burgers.



    We had some difficulty getting the fire lit to begin with - perhaps something to do with the fact that it had been snowing …

    Claire, Paul, Bryn, Ruth, JTA, Andy and I went to the beach this evening to play frisbee and watch the sunset. We even got Bryn participating, which is somewhat a rarity for any of this fun outings that involve physical activity. Everybody seemed happy to be taking a break from exams. Aber is wonderful this …

    It's snowing! Again!

    Apparently it's going to get as low as -7ΒΊC on Sunday. And some fool has a BBQ-on-the-beach planned.

    Will post more when I find the motivation.

  • Fucking Flaming Brands

    Last night Kit, Claire, Paul, Bryn and I acquired a huge wooden desk and other burnables and went and started an enormous fire on the beach, having just finished a most fantastic curry at Cafe All Spice. Big fire!

    Later, we were joined by a man with some juggling batons and a woman with some flags …

    Paul made it to Aber. Woo and indeed hoo. He, Bryn, Kit, Claire, and I went to the beach and drank beer and ate pizza to celebrate. Then Claire and I took turns in an inflatable dingy and I got soaked as a wave leapt over the side. You'll probably see their reports of this …
