Spring into
Action
By Sir Cam
Cambridge, UK
Spring is here! What
a glorious few days we've had in Cambridge. Enough
to get me out of the winter blues. I hope! Things
have got me down lately, hence no DIARY for four
long weeks. Life is like that: down and up. However,
the show must go on. Has to. There are challenges
and rewards ahead. So, let's spring into action
once again.
One thing that I've managed to keep up and develop
is my photography. It's got me into a bit of bother
as well. You should have seen Lady Beeves' jaw drop
when I showed her my new digital SLR camera. "How
much! Boys toys.” And I hadn't told her half
of the story. Smartly I only told her the price
of the "camera" (the separate lens cost
more than the camera). These women think they're
clever, but us men have our tricks.
The CAM DIARY is now likely to become more a CAM(ERA)
DIARY. It's been drifting in that direction for
a while now. Silence is golden. The less said (spoken
or written) the better. Words are like swords (just
add an "s" to "word" and what
do you get?): sharp, cutting, killers. It's time
to get visual. I'll be sharing my photos more and
more.
I took a photo with my new gear on Tuesday. It is
taken from King's College bridge looking across
the River Cam toward Clare College bridge. The red
buildings behind the bridge (in the picture) was
Trinity Hall College, the creamy one on its right
was Clare College and the stripy lawn was the grounds
of King's College. This is Cambridge. Wish you were
here!

UPDATE
So, what's been happening. Plenty! The University
Islamic Society organized a wonderful "Islam
Awareness Week," while the Pakistan Society
held their annual Iqbal Dinner at the Guildhall.
The Bangladesh Society also organized a very informative
talk on "Islam in Britain". Coming next
is the local Pakistan Cultural Association's "Pakistan
Day" event on April 8, 2007. It's a busy place,
Cambridge is!
