Amsterdam

A surprisingly classy hotel room for the conference on Wednesday (my unmade bed notwithstanding). Shame there was no time to see the city.

Cyprus holiday

View from Kourion's annexe of Eusolios looking over Episkopi bay.

Neighbourhood

The sculptor's/jeweller's studio around the corner from us.

Spring flowers

The profusion of flowers everywhere is one of the joys of Spring in Cambridge. That and daylight until 10 pm, which I can never quite get used to after the depths of winter ...

Our car

I've not owned a car since leaving Melbourne in 2003. We bought this just a few weeks ago (click for a bigger image), I've only posted a picture of something so dull as a friend has requested it. Nonetheless, we love it: it has the biggest interior of a small car I've ever seen - the three back bucket seats can fold down in two separate ways or lift out entirely!

Bilbao

A very pleasant weekend away ...

A great conference venue

Onati, Spain (outside Bilbao).
