Saturday was the first day of May, so, in true Oxonian tradition I got myself into Oxford and on Magdalen Bridge by 6am to celebrate. For once I was a little early, having got up at 4am to make sure I had plenty of time to get there.

High street was packed (around 10,000 in my estimate), the atmosphere was generally good as usual but there was the ever present mix of American and European "tossers" in attendance. I tried my best to bear in mind that I had been to bed for about 3 hours and then got up, and they had been out drinking all night...

At 6am the choir sang and I was quite surprised that so many people managed to keep (almost) silent for the duration, I even put my phone on to the Meeting profile.

After the Singing, Praying and the Morris Dancing (about 6.15am) I met up a friend on mine and we headed for a couple of beers in George St. The Cock&Camel were open from 6am and they had a DJ who was playing a really good mix of Jazz Funk and Soul, it was perfect for the occasion. Guinness at 6.30am is the way all weekends should start, Drunk Female students dancing is also a positive.

I got home at about 9.30am after a Mocha in Starbucks, managed to get another hours sleep then too. Next year I hope to do exactly the same.
