Not much to say about this day really. Got up, said goodbye to John, and then hung around the house waiting for the rail-fares to become off peak. When they did, I headed in the approximate direction of Wimbledon train station, then to Victoria, then to the coach station, and then to Swansea. There are some spectacularly ugly places in Wales, Port Talbot being one of them. It's not all bad though.

Got to Swansea bus station, by a shopping centre called The Quadrant, and waited for Nicholas to show up. When he did, we headed bak to campus and had tea. I was massively over-charged for a small portion of some acceptable vegetable balti with rice that was apparently worth one pound. My arse. Met his friends Matt and Mark, who seem nice enough. Talked to them a bit more in the evening when we went to the pub.
