Just back from my second visit to Simon today. Unfortunately, he missed out on his swim again. I could not get at the reason why and the day shift staff had gone off duty. I wish they would stop messing him around, it just upsets and confuses him. The good news is that we have a tentative date for settlement on our new house: 17th November. I can't be absolutely certain of that, but it should be thereabouts. This means we will have a couple of weeks to get in and do the urgent modifications and may be able to get Simon home by early December when Asher arrives.
Knocked out two more syllabuses today, and thought I had finished, only to find another one incubating in my inbox when I got home. Also found this wonderful notice from the Social Science Administration team:
"A male koala has regularly been seen on campus, especially around the Social Sciences north and south buildings. Many staff and students have provided water for him during heat waves when he tends to come into our courtyards. Several staff have contacted Cleland Wildlife Park enquiring about the behaviour of the koala and as a consequence of these enquiries, a vet is willing to come on campus, hopefully locate the koala and examine it to establish if there are any medical issues. This animal is not dangerous or aggressive and because it appears to be quite thirsty, it will follow anyone who is in possession of a water bottle. You are to exercise precaution but the little guy only wants a drink and will be pleased if you can provide it (and dispose of your water bottle afterwards). He will try to hold the bottle in his claws so be mindful of this to avoid any scratches. Water is a very important commodity for the survival of the koala so please help where you can."
Flinders is special. This year we are having our xmas outing to Kensington Bowling and Tennis Club. I plan to try my hand at bowls.
Warm weekend approaching - shorts alert!
Love Marian xx
