A 6cm moth lands in the upstairs office at work
Shakespeare at St. John's, Parker's Piece and the A14's Worst Day - 17th July 2006
Isobel and Nosher meet up with Francis from work for a spot of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the grounds of St. John's College, Cambridge, on a gorgeous balmy summer's evening. Several days later, Nosher and Isobel have a picnic on Parker's Piece, where there are several kickabouts going on in the evening sun, then at work, a giant moth appears in the office upstairs. About a week later, Nosher is stuck for a thousand hours on the A14 near Newmarket as a van carrying fuel canisters catches fire 100 metres away from the Rowley Mile BP service station on the three-lane bit of the A14. OK, so it's potentially major, but as usual The Man over-reacts by closing off the A14 for about 10 miles in both directions. So, with nothing better to do, it's time to climb out and sit on the roof of the car for a few hours and wait it out as a one-hour commute turns into five.

Isobel rustles up a stir-fry
Some kind of abandoned dinner ends up in newspaper
The A14 is hosed again
The audience gathers in the grounds of St. John's
The crowds wait for Shakespeare
Francis and Isobel
Picnic scenes in the grounds of St. John's College
The Shakespeare audience
The actors take a curtain call
The performance is over
Chasing a football on Parker's Piece
More football action
A game of footie takes place in Parker's Piece
The Reality Checkpoint
People on Parker's Piece
Cranes loom over Cambridge
More football on Parker's Piece
The sun sets of Parker's Piece
Church spires
Construction cranes
Motionless traffic on the A14
Stacked traffic
The A14 is stationary for miles
A dude on a phone, and a Post Kogeko driver
People get out of their cars and just hang around
The Post Kogeko heavy
A whole line of heavies in the shimmering heat
Sitting on the tarmac
A line of vehicles
Surveying the scene
Looking back down the A14, towards Bury St Edmunds
A police 'spotter chopper' surveys the scene
The sign says it all really
The coppers cordon off huge swathes of road
