Malta, the first few days
Tia graduates with MA in Creative Writing and New Media
Tia, Eyal and I met the Burmans and Dinah and Verity at the Space museum in Leicester. A wonderful experience of space travel!!

Joseph in Space suit in the gallery. Tia, Eyal, Keith where we waited to enter hall. No rain!!!

Lunch with graduates and Prof Sue Thomas and Prof Kate Pullinger (I read The Mistress of Nothing)
Tia and Eyal’s house in Mill Hill redecorated
After a long but most comfortable flight with big seats and lots of leg room on Emirates (excellent food and service and power for laptop) I was delighted to see Tia at Gatwick. After easy train ride (easy change at Farringdon) we arrived in Monterey Close. But only for 3 minutes because I had to go to the chemist for an excellent massage with Nicky. I returned to the house and Tia had a hot foam bath ready. It was a great beginning of the recovery from 24 hours travel.
40 inch new TV in the bookcase.

The large sofa bed is comfortable for 2 people.
