Off again

Well, after just enough time to get all my laundry done and sort the chaff from my e-mail account, I’m off on another field trip. This time I’m heading to north-west South Africa for a week and a bit with the 4th year students. It should be fun – if possibly a little chillier than balmy Barberton (to my English seasonal tastes, there’s something faintly wrong with being able to wear just shorts and t-shirt less than a month after the winter solstice).
So apologies for the extended hiatus – although hopefully I’ll have some cool photos to show off when I get back. In the meantime, fell free to continue the geological variant of Mornington Crescent – I’m finding it entertaining, even if no-one else is. There’s also a couple of items for discussion popping up in the next couple of days: one frivolous, one less so…
