Welcome

Welcome to issue -34.

This week it is a ‘bitty’ newsletter in which I will be:

  • reflecting on marking my last set of summer exams
  • thinking back to the lovely little holiday I had last week
  • worrying about a data breach at my pension provider
  • reminiscing about a visit to Zion National Park
  • and wondering about Wi-Fi etiquette while staying with friends

And the photo this week is from my visit to Zion National Park, Utah — See “Travel — Nostalgia Corner” below for more information.

Summer Exam Marking

In issue -37, My last set of summer exams, I wrote about how I was about to start my last summer exam season. Well, the season has now finished for the students, and it is over to the academics to get on with the marking.

And will I miss marking? The answer is no.
