Excellent week as Geddes Visiting Fellow, Edinburgh College of Art University of Edinburgh. I attended the Imagining Interiors Conference where I gave a keynote speech. I met PhD students, post-grad students, staff and colleagues. And I was excited to see my books in good company at the conference.

The first decade…thanks to our families and friends that made our wedding special. We lost a few dear ones since, and life becomes more complicated the older we get. But I at least am always made to laugh!

I look forward to meeting colleagues and friends in the 19th Venice Biennale next week. And strolling in Venice's campi and calli, enjoying the light evening breezes, the sound of the bells, the flapping of the waves on the buildings' walls, in this eternal city, never exhausted, always fascinated.

We made it to the top. Church of St Sophia, Monemvasia upper town. Spectacular views. A slippery slope on the way down. Rewarded ourselves with a cool drink at the canoni square!
