Often we think about going to live in Italy in a couple of years or so, but it would be a wrench not to see the wooded English countryside in May (we forgot to take the camera when walking last weekend in a quite unregarded area of Bedfordshire — but it was stunning in its quiet way, as even a phone snap hints).
One of the less welcome delights of May, however, is tripos-marking, which starts for me at the end of this week. And before then, I have the tough task of ranking thirty six applications for the Analysis studentship, many of them impressive. So this blog will probably now slow down a bit after the recent flurry of postings.
