The Chronicles of Triple P: To Fenbog

I have just posted the next episode in the Chronicles here. This details my first week of the second year and a trip to Cambridge, or Fenbog, as Oxford students call it, insultingly.  This is a picture I took during that weekend, of one of the colleges I visited.

The Chronicles of Triple P: Noughth Week Part 2

I have just posted (here) the second half of my account of the week before my second year at university.  Part one had a lot of views in a short period of time but I could post part two so soon after as I wrote both parts at the same time.  Part 2 is easily the longest Chronicle so far, at nearly 20,000 words. I haven't even started on the next part (although I have sorted out the relevant letters and notes I made at the time) so there will be a break of at least a month, although another episode of The Lust World will be out soon. 

A new chapter of the Lust Word: 32 "We can't keep our hands off them".

Although it's not quite a month since I posted the previous chapter, the latter accumulated a lot of views quite quickly so I saw no reason to hold back on the next one, which continues the build up to Lord Hoxton's birthday party.  A new character is introduced who is very much based on a lady I knew at Oxford, who will shortly appear in the Chronicles of Triple P.  Part two of noughth week is nearly finished and will appear next week or, possibly, even earlier as, again, the previous episode has picked up a lot of views in a short time.  

The Chronicles of Triple P: Noughth week Part 1

My staircase in the second year.  My room was in the roof, just to the left of the external stairwell in this picture.

I have just posted the latest episode of the Chronicles of Triple P which looks at Noughth Week (the week before term starts) at the beginning of my second year at University.  This is the longest Chronicle so far but was originally going to be much longer, as I was going to cover the whole week in one post (and there are artistic reasons that would have justified this).  However, my friend said it was just too long so I have split it into two or possibly even three posts. 

These posts draw on the most contemporaneous accounts I have of my time so far as I have both my own journals and those of the other person involved to draw on. Some of what I wrote was actually written on the same day as the action. There is, perhaps, too much material, hence the inordinate length.

The next episode will appear rather more quickly than this one followed the last.

A new chapter of The Lust World: Chapter 31

I have spent rather a lot of time abroad the last few months and have been unable to update my blogs due to issues with logging in remotely.  Over the next week or so I will be doing some more posts and the first of these is Chapter 31 of The Lust World, which continues Edmund Molloy's adventures down in Hoxton Hall. I was down in the Meon Valley last week and drove past an imposing entrance which looked like it might be, and was certainly in the right place for, that of the fictional Hoxton Hall.

This chapter is a fairly recent addition and, I am afraid, does not move the story along very much but was written at the request of my friend B who wanted to see some more of the redoubtable Lady Hoxton.  In the next chapter, which is well on the way, the other guests start to arrive for Hoxton's birthday entertainment.

I have also been working on the next Chronicle of Triple P, which is by far the longest I have done for reasons I will explain when I complete it, hopefully, next week.

The Chronicles of Triple P: The Summer of our Discontent 2

The Radcliffe Camera from Catte Street in 1980

I have just posted the next Chronicle which covers my summer vacation between the first and second years at university. You can read it here.

Mentioned in it are a couple of books about Japanese prints which I still have.  This is the cover of the exhibition catalogue concerned.  I will post some of the pictures mentioned in the piece in due course. Also mentioned, again, is a picture my Uncle L had in his holiday house in Hampshire.  I have managed to track it down and you can see it here.  It is, perhaps, a surprising picture for a middle aged couple to have in their living room!

A new chapter of The Lust World

Following on from yesterday's new episode of the Chronicles of Triple P I have posted a new Chapter of The Lust World here.
