Marking Groundhog Day Again

Another day chained to the marking, with little sign of an end to it. At least today's experience of student performance was slightly less depressing than yesterday and the view was great.

Su met up with our friend Jane, and they came back this afternoon with cake - made for a welcome break from wielding my red pen, and a chance to sit in the sunshine.

After finishing today's stint of marking, I paid a brief visit to our little patch on our neighbour's allotment- beat back encroaching nettles, grass and bindweed as well as to water beetroot and mystery vegetables (not lettuce, probably not spinach, possibly broccoli - time will tell!).  Phlox and geraniums were out as well.

 
Tomorrow I get a break from marking exam scripts   - solid presentations instead will fill my waking hours for the next three days.
