Interlude
Owing to foreseen circumstances I’m going to be spending the next few days enjoying the hospitality (geddit?) of our wonderful National Health Service which is the envy of the civilised world (and America).
Normal services will be resumed as soon as possible but, for the time being, there will now follow a short intermission.

I wonder if the NHS’s frivolous expenses budget covers WIFI?

Are you sure you haven’t been hospitalized due to the shock of taking over as director of postgraduate studies? Seriously, get well soon

Dear All,
Thanks for the kind comments. I feel a bit of a fraud because I should have probably made it clearer that it was all very routine and nothing to worry about.
In fact it was done very efficiently and I’m back home earlier than anticipated, although I did nearly get lost this morning in the labyrinthine depths of the Heath hospital.
I didn’t really get much sleep last night and am therefore going to have a nice afternoon nap. Back to work tomorrow!

Dear Phillip,
I’ll have to check when I get back to the office but I’m pretty sure that paper is a review of our book done by Ed Harrison. We certainly never wrote a paper with him, and the length (only 2 pages) suggests it was a just a review.

Phillip,
I’ve now downloaded the article you mentioned and it is indeed a book review. Quite a nice one actually!

Phillip,
You can get it here, but I think it’s behind a paywall.
If you can’t get it there you will have to rely on a kindly soul emailing it to you.
