For those of you who haven’t visited me yet, here’s some pictures of my classroom. It’s usually a lot busier than this! I have 10 computers in my room because I’m the ICT coordiator for the department. These computers, plus 8 in the adjoining library (through the wooden doors) are the ‘computer lab’ for the English department. The state of my desk is a bit worse than normal – end of the year and all that…

Tim Henman out, just when I was starting to enjoy Wimbledon…..

We went out for a meal with some work friends of Beth’s. They took us to Sweeny and Todds Pie Shop, which is in Castle Street in Reading. It’s a slight strange place, at the front it is like a shop, but up a flight of steps after the counter is a small bar and tables and chair, and then down in the cellar are more tables. It is totally unlike most of the eateries in Reading nowadays, which are all the fairly standard modern places, especially in the Oracle. The food is all home made, and great, and the place certainly seems popular.

I came home to discover that Beth had made dinner reservations at the Tally Ho, just down the road.
