Yearbook

Our 2011 yearbook arrived earlier than expected last Wednesday. It was waiting by the door when we arrived home. YAY!

Having expected the pictures to come out of print darker I adjusted most of them to make them lighter, but I still find the print a bit dark. Then, Afi found that I made one spelling mistake, AAARGH! I cannot believe I missed it; I went through each and every page before submitting them to print. It is just a small mistake, but a mistake nonetheless.

Still, overall we are very happy with the result.


Earlier in the day, we went out to town to try the scones at the Vaults & Garden Café. Someone recently told us that the scones there are better than the ones at The Rose, which in our opinion are the best in Oxford. The Vaults & Garden Café is located inside the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, which means that technically I have now visited the university church. I still hope to one day climb the tower, though. Back to scones, we still think that The Rose’s are number one. Next, before we leave for home we hope to drop by the Old Parsonage hotel to try the scones there too.

After that, we went to the Oxford University Press Bookshop on High Street. There was a 3-for-2 offer for select books, so Afi bought three picture books for Omar. She then asked me to pick three titles from the Very Short Introduction series. I wish we can buy the whole series, but for now I have three more books added to my reading pile.
