Good to be cycling again. Ice and work commitments have meant I've not been out on the bike for a couple of weeks.
Today was misty--thicker in some places than others, as the two pics above show.
Yesterday, I enjoyed catching up with two friends who I first met when I worked with them on Oxford creative writing courses. Lunch at Brown's with one and drinks at the Randolph with another. It was great to see them and hear their news. I say 'first met' but in one case, yesterday was the first time we had met face-to-face because the course I taught was online and we have only kept in touch by email and Facebook since. Wonderful to see him and hear his voice.
Meanwhile, when I went to the shed to get the bike this morning, I noticed clumps of moss scattered across the path. Evidently excellent nesting material!
On Thursday there was a good review of A Conscious Englishman in the Oxford Times--also online. Great that the novel is selling well and that there is already a lot of very complimentary feedback from readers. All down to Margaret Keeping's wonderful story-telling and gift for natural description.
Some online teaching and assignment marking this weekend. Also a Skype tutorial with a student in Japan. Plus some time for relaxation, of course!
