Thanks to all the Scottish students newish and regular who made this weekend such a great mixture of laughter, sincere work, good study and information download (hopefully not overload...) Thanks too to Dave for his address to the haggis. Next year, let's do a proper Burns supper with neeps and tatties too, maybe minus the whisky until at least after the San Shou.

Back in London I have had PC hassles as well as HMRC deadlines today, but though somewhat depleted on the pecuniary front, I am otherwise recharged after spending 3 hours crocheting with my sister in law, while she's in hospital with a bun in the oven...

Sweden is all set too. Details to follow.
