big patch of empty sky

....which the university is on the verge of filling with a new department of thingummymcgubbins. Short lunchtime wander round Jericho, where this photo was taken. That's the Radcliffe Observatory on the left, Maths Institute on the right. At the risk of sounding like Prince Charles, I've a horrible feeling the new buildings are going to look more like the institute than the observatory - not a spire, dreaming or otherwise, in sight.

Off on my holidays tomorrow, so no more blips for a bit. Have a lovely week.
