Mirror Maze
10 Jan 2021
Went for a wander with my friend Lisa—the current lockdown rules seem to be that one local walk for exercise per day with a maximum of one person not in one's "bubble" is fine—up to the University of Bristol area right at the edge of my one-mile perimeter to see the Jeppe Hein Mirror Maze, among other things. On the way we mused about Merchant Venturers, the slave and tobacco trades, and dating in the time of Covid.
Interesting to think that if I'd read CS at Bristol rather than Warwick I'd have been doing it in the Merchant Venturers' building. Though I suppose I don't know where Bristol CS was in 1991. Pretty sure they've already knocked the old CS department down at Warwick, but then they always were quite cavalier about the buildings there.
