Antosha -

Oh, excellent. One does like to be clear. (Or at least this one does.) And you're quite right that people do persist in asking. Though sometimes, that can be to the good - I've two mystery series I'd not read except for someone asking off-handedly to make conversation. But when one just wants to bury one's nose in a book and ignore the world, better that the book is entirely tedious to everyone else.

I should, perhaps, have warned you, yes. Do forgive?

As to next week, I suspect it is quite possible. (And I'm glad you'd already considered the fairness factor, mind. I would worry otherwise.)

I hear the sound of approaching groans. I nearly forgot it's the 3rd years on Fridays first this year (some twist of the schedule I was not going to ask Septima to swap, even if it truly doesn't conflict with anything else) rather than last year's 5th years. Got five minutes into my prep, before realising I'd already done that this week.

Do rest well, and enjoy the last weekend without too many marking obligations.
A.
