RAG

This week is RAG week, which means a greater than average number of crazy things are being done for charity (yesterday, for example, saw hundreds of plastic ducks floating down the river). To start the week off, the RAG Get Spotted event aimed to get as many people as possible doing as many odd things as possible to raise money and awareness for RAG week, one of these crazy people being yours truly. Here are just a few of the bizarre things I've spent the past 9 days doing, instead of medicine:
Collecting business cards from passers-by
Walking around Newnham library with a sign saying 'BANG'
Making a giant blue smartie (note to self: Dairy milk + icing = creme egg)
Taking photos of many, many random people in the street and in various locations all around Cambridge

This doesn't even include the quite frankly insane things my partner did in order to gain points. But then, what is life in Cam without insanity? (Answers on a postcard please...) Seeing as this is coming from someone who was seen walking through town last week accompanied by someone painted green, this has made little difference to my everyday life, with the exception of further limiting the percentage of time spent actually doing medicine- it's all good.

Here's hoping next week will be slightly more productive (in the traditional sense, at least)
