Happy Reformation Day, Halloween and All Saints Day

We have been busy, life has kicked into full swing here leaving us little time to post and a little bit less to sleep.
The good news is that part of this busyness is due to me, Becca, finally starting to work.
I'm the assistant manager at Ye Olde Candy Shoppe. I have been working for about a week now. The manager and I have been hiring staff and sorting the massive stock for the store, the grand opening is this Saturday. It's been sweet. It feels like we are putting on a production of sorts, it reminds me of working at the gallery before a big show (only candy will be the only exhibit). I have never seen so much candy in my life. We have everything, I'm sure we even have everlasting gobstoppers and geese that lay golden chocolate eggs.

Darren has been hard at work trying to read at least 100 books at a time. He is doing a fine job. Last saturday he went to the sea with Ben from the house and saw a creepy British carnival.

We have both been enjoying the Cambridge festival of Ideas which consists of several free lectures around the city pertaining to all kinds of cool things. We also got to hang out with Melissa and Ted (California Friends) a few weekends ago. They are on an adventure of their own (see blog) and it was great to just hang out, punt the Cam, eat with clowns, and learn how to make macaroni salad. Good times guys.

I leave you with pictures from recent days gone by. I hope to update soon with pictures of the GRAND OPENING OF THE CANDY SHOP! (watch out)
