A busy day!

[alt_sinistra]

I'm off visiting the CCF programme this week (I am not directly in charge, but I'm handy to help sort out housing and food details, and that sort of thing). Everyone seems to be settling in well enough. Students have a very busy and full schedule in front of them, but I'm confident that they'll thrive.

I've spent the past several weeks catching up on all manner of things that needed doing, including an extended visit to my parents, for a little bit of a breather before the complexities of the YPL activities. Mum and I had an extended conversation about some of the research she's been doing: I could not persuade her to post some recipes, so I'll be doing so myself as I get some time.

I've had a couple of days in New London, mostly taken up by meetings, but I'm looking forward to a bit longer in between the YPL visits, and am looking forward to seeing some more of the sites. I'm almost wondering if I should take up a lease on a flat for the next month or two just to make it easier to manage.

Thanks again, Professor, for recommending me for the full summer-long paid position. It would have been an honour just to be able to help out the programme, but given that all the internship opportunities would have meant missing some of the activities, it's very kind of the YPL to create this position as an internship of its own.

We're off to a very good start, as well. There was a bit of bother this morning when a couple of the students who were supposed to help make breakfast proved not to be very early risers, but once we got that sorted all has gone smoothly.

Miss Clearwater -

You're quite welcome, of course. With all your hard work on the play, I was sure you'd be in good form to handle the different challenges of this summer's programmes, and I was glad to put in a good word. I'm also quite pleased that the Ministry recognised the usefulness of having a full time intern, to aid scheduling and other commitments.

This morning was rather a rush, wasn't it? I hope that'll get better, but I know that a busy schedule makes that a tad challenging. I know you're likely on top of the wake up charms and such, but do let me know if you have any ideas: I'll be around through this evening, but I believe in a meeting again after everyone's eaten.
