It was rather intense but we had a lot of fun, in spite of a large series of mishaps. I got food poisoning from a high tea we went to.

I'm glad you had fun. It's a pity about the food poisoning.
We're back in London with only a week left of our holiday.

I've been out of my tree for more than eight weeks now, it's getting a bit weird. But, of course, I'm not complaining, I'm lucky to be able to do
this.

Enjoy!
Looking at my photos of last week, I found I made a couple when I'd gotten something in my eye. I'd almost forgotten that incident. It looked
terrifying but it's OK now...

That's a relief.
Off to sleep then off to the airport, heading home. I shall be substantially warmer within 34 hours.

I had to get dressed and pay a visit to my neighbour, at 3:30 in the morning, cause the bloody bastard listened to music so loud it made my floor
vibrate under my bed. I was pretty diplomatic. Firm and concise, but pretty diplomatic.

Makes you wonder what goes on in the head of someone who behaves like that. I mean, it's pretty obvious what effect that behaviour will have.
Although, one time, I had a neighbour who worked in a sheltered workshop (I don't know what his condition was). I paid him a visit and showed him how
to use the tone controls and explained that if he wanted to turn the volume up a bit he should turn the bass down as well, because that is what
travels through the walls. I demonstrated various settings and then took him into my flat so he could hear the result and after that things improved
vastly.
Now, if he could learn that, you'd have to wonder who couldn't. Another time, another neighbour, who we had banging on our door complaining about the
music keeping his baby daughter awake, told us to turn the bass up after bragging that he was a head of music in some school or other.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious it will cause trouble with the neighbours, but some people seem to think they're the only ones living on this planet.

I'm still waiting for various enrolment details to fall into place, but I've got my desk at uni now and I'm getting ready for the hard slog ahead.

Good luck and good will to you!
I found a university-level calculus book I'm making (slow) headway in. So far the lack of a graphic calculator is getting painful.

Anytime you've got a question just send a U2U.
Macs have the built in Grapher, what system are you using?

Win7.
BF sent me a link to fooplot.com which apparently does the same.
The question that was troubling me was about a tin can. The tin can must have a volume of 500 cubic cm. The cost for the lid and bottom is 0,02 ct per
square cm, the cost for the tin wall is 0,01 ct per square cm. What will be the radius of the cheapest tin you can make?
I tried it by hand and then I found I'd made a mistake - either way there's a limit to what is doable by the time you have such a long formula.
