Uneventful day from the
snake-watching point of view and otherwise. Woke up as usual,
breakfast, coffee on the patio. Realised that I needed to get my
repeated medical prescription to the surgery and made it a
reason to take a short, quick walk (now experimentally proved that
the distance through the park is 500 m and takes 5 minutes). Then
back to work, writing the last (?) chapter, checking email every now
and then and replying to everything urgent – don't people at the
Faculty ever take vacation? Looked up some web sites to research
red-head characters in children's books, but didn't find anything
helpful. Brief lunch break. More writing. Didn't go out at all.
Had a very nice tea with
some of the students who are still around, talking dangerous beasts
(flying ants, frogs, turtles), grammatical gender in different
languages, train journeys and educational systems. Back home, quiet
dinner. Then we watched a movie while the rest of the world watched
the opening of the Olympics. We saw a little bit of it (James Bond and Mr Bean), muted
during the rock, and switched off after Denmark.
