50 years since I graduated with my first degree from King’s College gave me the opportunity to join the Alumni weekend in London, and the sunny weather made it a real treat as I walked about early in the day in peace and quiet – much needed after recent events in London. Here are some of the pictures from the day…

After a career with several organisations, broadly in IT, I now have more time to follow physics (mainly cosmology) and mathematics again, as well as reviving my cycling, and having more time for skiing. As I get older, I'm more relaxed about some things, and less patient with quite a few others! It seems quite random, but my interests and prejudices will show as I post more blogs, I suppose. I have used Twitter and Facebook for a while, but I have found 140 (or even 280) characters on Twitter too few to make points in a nuanced way (opinions on Twitter are VERY black and white, and sometimes downright offensive); and FaceBook, while I use it a quite a lot, isn't really a medium for debate. So here goes with a blog, at last!
