The green between the accommodation blocks is full of sporty looking middle aged women, and one or two men taking breakfast outside. It's already 20 C, expected to reach 26 C later with a little rain between 13:00 and 14:00, but less than a millimetre altogether.

I think they are members of some sports teams, one of the women has just walked past my room with a jacket on that ha Nederland printed on the back. But what kind of sport I have no idea.

In the Trent Café having a bacon and brie bagel and a large mug of tea.

It's a large high ceilinged room under the south eastern corner of the Trent Building. A very pleasant place to relax but I imagine it would probably be very loud in term time when it would be busier. It's actually surprisingly busy today with perhaps twenty people here, mostly academics, and the café obviously expects a steady stream of customers because the hot counter is loaded with food.

Today is quite a contrast to yesterday, total cloud cover and a cool breeze.
