Today was "Induction Day" for all new postgraduate research students. Basically what that meant is that we were given an introduction to being research students: pitfalls, how to grow spiritually and retain your sanity, generally good advice, regulations, and a lot of helpful information. One of the great parts of this time was that it was held in a small church out in a rural area that has 12 people on its roles. (picture). For the third day in a row the sun was shinning and the sky was blue, much to the surprise of my British hosts. After a very wet summer here maybe summer has finally come?

My kids keep asking about my teacher and my classes, well here's picture of those who are doing postgraduate research work so I guess that they would be part of the same "class" I am in and the professors shown would be the teachers (how can I ever help them understand that I got to a school where I'm not taking any classes and consequently do not have teachers - they must think I'm loony).
