Emma at home for a few days

Emma has finished her "finals" and, much to our surprise, has decided on a few days at home. True, she did have a charity 5k run on Sunday in Oxford, but she needn't have come back several days earlier, though it turns out that many of her friends are still doing exams and maybe that is a good reason to have a few days away from Cambridge.

She is in luck - for the first time in a good while, we have several days of sun and she is able to do some sunbathing in the morning followed by some exercise. Then perhaps a couple of hours playing the new Sims game on her new laptop that I bought her as a graduation present and maybe a couple of hours napping. Perhaps not such a bad way to spend a few days.

And Linda has a few days off from work and is able to go to Oxford for an afternoon with Emma. We also have a meal out at the village pub which is always pretty good.

I, meanwhile, am doing my final work for my two exams next week. Badly hit by hayfever these last few days, I am re-reading the rather scanty revision notes that I prepared over the last few weeks. History of Science is fine of course. Philosophy of Economics most definitely isn't.
