Christmas in Cambridge

My first Christmas sans family, but never fear, I had a member of my astrophysics family to lean on. My friend Stas and I are keeping misery company as we spend the holidays locked in the Cavendish in front of our respective computers. Our topics actually overlap so we are helping to push each other along up the dreaded and steep hill of completion. (In fact, watch this space for our upcoming publication on the life cycle of black holes!) In the meantime though, we took a brief break to cook an outrageous amount of food and stuff ourselves silly.

Just another day by English weather standards.


The Christmas spread...Yum!


My modest first servings.


Stas's not-so-modest first servings.
Boys have such an unbelievable capacity for food!


Stas post-dinner. He went over capacity.


Attempted Christmas self-portrait of me, Stas and the Christmas tree. (Apparently the camera was more interested in the Eiffel Tower.)
