I'm home! Technically I snuck back to London tomorrow morning, but I wasn't back in spirit until the moment this afternoon when I finally e-mailed off my final supervision essay of the term (and... hey... forever!) which I'd spent all day sitting at the dining room table writing. (Naturally, however, I had already found the time to resume Battlestar Galactica duties with Katie. Priorities, priorities.) Of course, now I've finally finished 'term' I must now turn my attention to the giant pile of 'holiday' work... and indeed tomorrow I'm back in Cambridge for a final supervision and library pillaging! So basically, this is my excuse for why the troublesome unpacking process might take a while this time, OK?

Lots of end of term things. Up on Blu-ray - pretty pixels! - followed by Lego Rock Band at Bill's. I was too wimpy to take to the mike, I must admit, but I really do think this for the best. Formal at Catz with Promise which ended up with plenty of Queens Park talk, as we always always do when we're together. It's a bond Alice in Wonderland in 3D for Sharon's birthday, which was the first time in my entire life when I wished that something has been just a little more surreal. (C'mon, the Mad Hatter is supposed to be actually mad, not lovable-quirky.)

And also, my nana died on Thursday. (It feels appropriate to use the same photo as before.) She had dementia, although wasn't suffering from it for too long, and I do feel that we'd all count ourselves lucky if we had a similarly rapid decline.

I think I owe nana my love of rich tea biscuits She was lovely, although by the time I knew her had settled down somewhat in her ways. I can rewind my other grandparents back and pretty well imagine them as young adults, but not so with nana - partly because I know she kept what we would now consider the most exciting elements of her past strictly to herself!

(The last time I saw her she told me that Cambridge's church bells were suppressed during the war.)
