19th October: Al-Fresco dining

We had such a beaut day here in South Australia, I think around 26 degrees, clear blue skies and a slight breeze. It was a pity to have to work on such a day. Met up with Simon and Margaret at the hospital at lunchtime, we both went armed with extra grub so had to take some away. A nice chat, and some laughs. Margaret has managed to get a last minute mini-break to Queensland which sounds idyllic. By chance, some of Margaret's long lost friends will be in Queensland and staying nearby at the same time, they havent seen each other since the 1980s - a lot to catch up on.
Back to work to catch up with a student and guide him on an assignment. I will be marking much of this week and next. Hoping to find some juicy Higher Distinctions amongst them. One of our science students was made a Rhodes scholar this week, he has achieved Higher Distinctions in every topic that he has taken as an undergraduate averaging over 85% - phenomenal. Look out for a Dr Josh Makepeace in the future, he is very special. I hope that he will eventually return to Flinders after his spell at Oxford.
Back to rehab where I returned with the extra grub from lunchtime - a quiche which we shared in the garden. It was such a beautiful evening, Simon and I sat in the warmth and enjoyed some fine conversation and a lovely cuddle.
Sorry to have missed the blog yesterday, had something on my mind, but Simon helped me clear it out this evening. All good. I say good luck to the Potters who thrashed the Hammers on Saturday. These days they look like a decent team and they deserved that win. As for the Hammers, the inability to kick the ball seems to be a bit of a hindrance in their game...
