Cambridge May Week Seminar

I've arrived in Cambridge for the May Week seminar and write this from Jaffa Cafe on Mill Street, where I've stopped en route to Mike's Bikes, to hire a bicycle for the week.

I've got digs in Darwin College, a perfect location, essentially across the street from the Classics library, and in a lovely part of the city.

Here's the schedule for the seminar:
