Spiders, Norwich Science Festival and Kingston Arms Music - 5th September 2006

It's a miscellaneous roundup of photos from the end of August and beginning of September. First up, the secret genetics lab upstairs at Qualcomm Cambridge produces another in its series of "extreme insects", this time in the shape of a rather large spider. Then there are a few photos of Nosher's favourite food shop - Convivium Deli in Diss - and later on Isobel, with Nosher along for kicks, goes on a shopping spree in Norwich, after which there's time for a walk up to the Cathedral Close where part of the Norwich Science Festival is going on. Then on Sunday there's a barbeque around Pip and Apple's, and finally on Monday evening, after a trip down Mill Road in Cambridge to eat out at the Kymmoy Noodle Bar, we head over to the Kingston Arms on Kingston Street for a spirit round, to find some live folk/bluegrass/blues going on in the corner.
