Finally got to do a tour tonight. Actually, two.

Students still not interested in taking the ad hoc ones, but this evening (and for the next two evenings) there is a reception for any university staff who want to come along for wine, nibbles and either a look round or a formal tour. Most seem to be opting for the latter, so fellow colleagues and I have been on duty to consume the wine.... sorry, delete that... lead the tours and generally meet and greet.

Goes on a bit late - well, 7pm isn't that late but my buses home are a bit miserable (leave at 6:15 or don't bother till 7:20) - but it's quite a fun thing to do and although I might have been a bit bored of the tour at TheOldPlace, it's good to have a challenge again and feel it's all fresh (including the jokes).

I could even answer the questions I was asked excepting one specialized one from some of my civil engineers (do you get uncivil ones?) I was showing around who wanted to know about the plant room of the new extension, and one woman who wanted to know if were planning any space specifically for post-grads (no).
