Today is one of those days of mixed pride and sadness for a stepfather. Olivia, my dear, beautiful, loveable, and occasionally completely ridiculous step-daughter #2 is graduating from the University of Portsmouth.However, quite understandably, there are only limited numbers of tickets per head available, and so Corinna and Olivia's father are in Portsmouth, while I will stay at home and cheer from the comfort of my study! However, I cannot tell you all how much I wish that I could have been there in person.
I shall be watching on the link below from 2:30

In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

Congratulations Olivia.
Don't get too drunk at the after Graduation celebrations - I was a taxi driver and know what you students are like when you've sampled a few.
Congratulations Olivia!
