I know exactly how you feel about Lasts, and mine are (a) temporary, and (b) well over a month away! But everything's still tinged with nostalgia.

But you know how much Oxford's missed you, and how much individuals have missed you, and how Very Important it is to have you reinstated in Your Rightful Place.

(NB: Patrick mentioned that his mum is further winding down her teaching hours with a view to retirement possibly at the end of this year. Maybe there'll be more hours/a full-time post going at Warwick as a result?)
