(under "etc" goes things like, the little vent in first court where they buried someone in the 17th c., the chapel window tour that prof boyde does every year, the 18th c. port they give you at SBR port-tasting, the gargoyles, the buttery staff who gave me a free pudding on several occasions, the truffles the catering staff makes for special dinners, the extra desserts the waiters give to students when they have extras (that also goes for extra veg, extra meat, extra anything-that's-left-over), the times when prof linehan does the grace all in one breath, the times when prof boyde does the grace in a beautiful italianate accent, the times when duncan does the grace in his booming chapel voice, how quiet the library is in the summer and how good the books smell and the sound of the chapel bells when i'm in there working, the days in easter term when the backs are open for us to play on, the view of the night sky from the big door on new court looking out over the backs, prof boyde's tour of the college portrait collection, out of term BA table in the palmerston room, the day when the gardeners plant the new flowers when it gets warm again and the college is all in bloom, the way the river looks from the bridge of sighs when it's pitch black out and all you can see are the stars reflecting on the water and the glint of the white swans silently floating beneath you, the peaceful walk on the path between trinity and the fellows' garden heading towards queen's road, the mint growing on the path leading up to new court and the time when an old fellow i didn't know saw me pluck some of it and took scissors out of his pocket and chopped some for me and brought me up to his set to make mint tea with it, the many late night wine and elderflower sessions in my supervisor's set, the many gatherings in other fellows' sets and their brilliant stories, the fact that winston churchill used the SCR for planning during the war and the stories some of the old fellows tell about those days, the times when you see a little old fellow scurry across the grass with a pint of milk to use in his tea during fellows' lunch...)
there are a million and a half things to love about john's
