A few days in London on my own, doing academic sorts of things. Meetings with research colleagues about research and publications. Providing a lecture to entrepreneurs about business planning. Mentoring early stage ventures on pitching for funds. Lots of walking, as usual.
I've got a photo of my tiny hotel room, but this laptop doesn't have bluetooth so uploading will have to wait until early next week.
Tomorrow Lynn and the kids train down and we're spending the weekend with American friends living here full time. Science museum tomorrow afternoon, Kew gardens on Saturday, and hopefully Hyde park on Sunday before catching the train to return. Too many logistics (especially with Tube engineering work disrupting easy transit on Sunday), but presumably it will be rewarding for them to see parts of the big city.
There was a tube strike on Weds when I arrived, but other than an overcrowded ride from KingsX to Victoria I wasn't significantly inconvenienced.
It was strange to feel how much lighter and warmer London is than Edinburgh-- I could more appreciate the sense of Scotland being a land of eternal winter to the Southerners...
