No, today's post title is not a mythical place from Lord of the Rings but, rather, the name of an erupting volcano that is currently taking over conversation chez Warden. As the ash cloud hovers over northern Britain we are following the news avidly hoping that our plane will be able to take off on Friday. I have a scarily organised packing system going in hopeful expectation. As D rightly reminded me yesterday when I felt sad about the prospect of not getting to China, there will be people who are trying to travel to see sick relatives or to attend important family events; we are just attempting to go on holiday. So, we live in hope...
This week is taken up with meetings and uploading marks. I have spent a bit of time on the Book, though, and on a new paper which discusses the historical avant-garde archive as raw material for contemporary performance. It is a fun, challenging new project. Tonight we grabbed some sushi with our friends and then, as part of a Tuesday night tradition, watched WWE Tough Enough. What a great show! The Rock was on tonight and we are now left with three really good guys for Stone Cold to choose between.
And if you imagine that the Wardens have intense conversations about theology or politics or ethics then you would be mistaken - the chief topic of discussion this week was the difference between a bread bun and a roll. Hmmm...a question that will keep you awake this evening perhaps.
I'll post when we know more about our trip. "Ash cloud, ash cloud, go away".
