Thanks! I like how you say "it will be so good" rather than "it would be so good". :)

I've been making notes on the department, and on what sort of things I could say about various topics they're likely to bring up today. Seems to be going OK, and I'm not thinking too much about Harry Potter.

Yes, do get in touch about Dublin / Belfast, although I might be a bit scatty and non-committal myself over the next few days while I concentrate on the Reading thing. Next weekend doesn't really exist for me right now, although rationally I do know that it's clear, and that we should be able to fix something up in that time.
