Students!

We have been joined in Nottingham by a dozen jet-lagged Luther juniors. All went without incident in the process of picking them up at Heathrow airport and getting them back to Nottingham by motor coach. One had flown for over 20 hours from Asia. Another had been in Iceland for three days, but for some inexplicable reason had not slept the night before and had been awake 30 hours.

Mary stayed behind to cook all day, and had prepared a feast for them of two homemade soups (one chicken, one vegetarian), salad, bread, and dessert. They hadn't eaten much, so that went down well. They got oriented to the flat -- how the showers work, the difference between rubbish and recycling, etc.

I went back to the flat around 9:30 p.m. to pick up something we had forgotten. It was already pretty quiet there. All had crashed for the night, I think (unless they were all out at a pub already?).

More news as we have it.
