We began with a nail-biting drive into Cambridge this morning as I attempted to drive Mrs T. to the Railway station, to catch the 10 o'clock train. Despite having taken the more circuitous, yet usually speedier, route, we were caught in a gridlock. Barely a mile from the station, we were inching forward as the clock ticked ever closer to departure time. The damming of the traffic occurred on the Hill's Road Bridge, where the installation of an additional set of traffic lights, generating two in close succession and out of synchronicity, prevented the traffic flow. Nerves frayed to a whisker, we made it with one minute to spare, Mrs T. being the last to board the train.
The return journey took a laughable 15 minutes in comparison.
Mr Heker gave a courtesy call via Skype on matters relating to our potential collaboration during his exhibitio visit in October. Mrs Ekblom also telephoned with regards to the first draft of a short children's book that she had asked me to review. I promised to address the book there and then. The magical tale was generally well constructed, requiring minimal comments on my behalf and I was done with the task after two hours.
The afternoon involved crafting the last, more business oriented blog article on Mr Ebert's visit back in March, wich the reader may peruse at their leisure here: http://miltoncontact.blogspot.com/2011/05/german-quality-goats-cheeses-on-mission.html
A chance e-mail from Mr Veit suggested an evenings educational entertainment, welcome in Mrs T.'s absence. So at 7:30pm I found myself in Cambridge attending a seminar by Mr Gauld on a system of augmented reality on mobile phones. This was indeed a very stimulating talk on technology more akin to magic in its effect and there is an article written here http://goo.gl/pVyx2.
