At the end of the last report I speculated about whether the January report would be a London/Oxford one or Shetland one.
A variety of factors (including the weather and NHS appointments) dictated that it turned out to be another Oxford-centric month. Or perhaps more charitably, just an extended Christmas holiday - with the last day of January being the 37th Day of Christmas.

In London
When I was working I hardly ever ventured into London (unless work required it). Now when I'm in Oxford, I seem to find a reason to head 'into London' about once a week. Sometimes it's for an exhibition or gallery, other times it's just to spend time in book shops and coffee shops.

| Mendini Exhibition at the Estorick Gallery |

And Next Month...
Well, it'll either be Oxford (with a bit of London thrown in) or the wild beaches of Shetland... which in just what I said last time round.
