Back in Blighty

[strange_complex]

I'm back from Verona. Very tired, but I had a brilliant time. In theory, I've gone all the way back through LJ to where I left off before I flew out, but it meant going back to skip=260, so it was very much skim-reading.

I'll post a proper report tomorrow, but in essence, after the initial flight cancellation tedium, it was all good. Students fine, my opposite number in Verona a real sweet-heart and very enthusiastic host, Verona wonderful, hotel welcoming, food excellent, and I have been to Venice! Wow.

In all honesty, I'd rather still be there than back in Britannia. But the good news is that the weather there is exactly as horrid as it is here, so I do not need to feel I am missing the sunshine. Only the warm internal glow of Italy and its people. :-(

I have many pictures, but for now you just get my favourite two:

Have you hugged a tetrarch today?

Weirdly, they were actually exactly the size I was expecting them to be. And it didn't even occur to me until later to wonder how on earth I knew that. I thought I had only ever seen them on their own in pictures, without a scale - but I suppose I must have seen something, some time, which gave it away.
