| Dear Weekend | July 2, 2010 | Dear WeekendToday is Friday which means that you are not far away. Let us cast our minds back to your previous visit about 7 days ago.

I have delighted in the lack of phone calls, email tinging, people arriving at my office door unexpectedly and so on. I have also delighted in the amount of work I got through this morning…some things had been sitting waiting for a spare moment […] |

| A distinct lack of trumpet fanfare | June 1, 2010 | Well today finally the first of June arrived. It was a lovely day weather wise, although distinctly underwhelming in many other ways. There were the usual pernickety emails, the students – prospective, past and current – wanting various forms of assistance. For Day One of the Research Fellowship there was no trumpet fanfare, procession, cake, […] |

| With apologies to the Gershwin brothers | May 22, 2010 | Today is Sunday – the traditional day of rest. But not for me (apologies Gershwin brothers). I shall be sitting at the kitchen table surrounded by portfolios of student work, marking something called The Group Oral Presentation. Oh yes. Nothing as interesting as an essay.
