Life is simple...

... when you get to stay at home; have two lots of visitors through the day - one that you've not seen for ages and one that you adore and then - eventually - get to have your tea, including some freshly cooked chicken and spend your evening running in and out of the garden with things that are not supposed to be in the house, have a walk around the block and then get a random lid to chew on. That about sums Bailey's first day of the new academic year up; mine can't be described as 'simple'. Lots of PowerPoint slides and speeches and a couple of fairly productive meetings filled the day. And another one tomorrow before the students arrive on Thursday. I'll be pleased to see them and make a start, I think.
