I seem to have taken going to the Marom Bet Midrash and Shmooze quite a bit. They both cost £5 including food (at the level of bagel and smoked salmon), which is a bit of a hit expenditure-wise. It's occurred to me I have little of a handle on what people consider normal expenditure on leisure activities. What sort of figure do you come up with, if you don't mind me asking, if you were to tot up your average weekly expenditure on such things as drinks, eating out, films, cigarettes, etc? And what sort of figure would you think would be average for middle-class people such as myself and most of the readers of this blog?

Anyone up for anything exciting next Sunday?

It's good to get away for the weekend from time to time; after I split up with livredor I resolved to go away for the weekend more, now I no longer had a monthly excuse to get out of London. In particular, Cambridge seemed a possibility for day trips as there's a bunch of you there and it's relatively easy to get to. But so far this year I've only spent one weekend away, for the one day Limmud in Newcastle the other week, with my next planned weekend away not being until Pesach in a month and a bit.

It's occurred to me we've got a double Bank Holiday weekend coming up for which I have no plans at present after Saturday (Friday being Purim). Does anyone fancy meeting up for anything in Cambridge next Sunday or Monday? (To my astonishment, there does appear to be a train service running (albeit with delays for engineering works) on the Monday.)
