9 am

What a difference 5 minutes makes. No bread left to make sandwiches this morning and so I'm out of the door early and the road is awash with cyclists. Tonnes of them. As they all peel off onto Longwall St I realise that it's all the scientists off to make 9am labs and lectures. At Cornmarket it's even more tricksey than usual - the pedestrians taking strength from numbers, less contained even than usual to their designated paths. It feels more different than it should for such a small margin.

CBS

Just in case there are still people missing from the email (Alex just pointed out to me that Mark was, for example)...

Two things

1) Comics tea party: You are all cordially invited to my house on Sunday to draw comics and drink tea. Say 2pm onwards.

2) Pub: Things were all a bit confused this week, so after discussion with those at All Bar One yesterday, the plan for next week is that we should meet at the All Bar One with the purpose of casing it as a possible permanent venue. Expect a vigorous debate.
