Ambling in Ambleside










I'm in England's Lake Country, for the Mathematical Virology meeting, which begins tomorrow at the Ambleside campus of the University of Cumbria. Came a couple of days early to de-jetlag, and caught a spot of nice weather.

A nice walk up a local hill yesterday. Spent this morning preparing and practicing my talk and was headed out for a light lunch and a moderately serious half-day walk when I ran into Peter Prevelige. He'd just arrived, we haven't seen each other in a year or two, and we were both hungry, so the plans got a bit waylaid -- fish and chips, a couple of pints, and long conversation... The moderately serious walk turned into a very moderate and very non-serious stroll along the river.

Maybe I'll do better tomorrow morning...
