Finally Spring has sprung and we have had a gorgeous weekend of sunshine. Yesterday, the flat was a mess and a had a pile of books to work through. But instead the Wardens dropped the chores and went for a long walk in Whisby Nature Park. D even got to wear his shorts! OK, so a filled in quarry doesn't sound all that great, but I absolutely loved the place. It is so pretty and quiet. We walked and talked and got our vitamin D fix. And all this after a Friday night of jazz and sushi. We have got the hang of this sushi thang now!
We've been enjoying the Yes Minister box set. While it is dated in some ways, it is totally contemporary in its analysis of the civil service. We're also playing a game of Fifa on the PS3 every night at the moment. I am totally hopeless! D is aiming for a 10-0 drumming but hasn't quite made it yet. I must admit, it is a rather demoralising way of spending an evening!
And so, another week begins and it starts with a 9 o'clock lecture tomorrow on politics in post-War British theatre. There's still a bit of marking to do and some teaching prep to bash through. Tuesday sees the next Creation and Realisation rehearsal. It's now fully cast and the students find out their fate this week. I have an incredible group of guys for this module. Can't wait to see what they make of it! I have a number of research projects to work on, including a couple of ace new books to read, a couple of papers to bash into shape and two brand new articles to begin. And this on top of trying to sort out copyright for the book. This is a complicated process! Glad to have a slightly quieter teaching load this block so I can crash on with some research work.
Tea to finish and then off to bed.
