One Big Bang

Four big noises from the university retired yesterday. Rather than four individual fireworks, the university saw fit to send all four off with one big bang. It was hardly that, although the academic who took the opportunity of her parting speech to complain about her access to the library being revoked, won my heart. I have a soft spot for several of those leaving, but in truth it was all just another opportunity for a couple of free glasses of wine. The thirst on us, Stephen, Will and I headed over to The Slipper to continue our supping. Just made the last bus home in the end. Such fine resolutions (to go easy on a school night) dissolve in a glass of red.
