Why don't any spell checkers think that "combust" is a word?

Well, the trip to St Andrews was very interesting and informative. I got to know the town a bit better and learned a lot about the university itself. I also got to see the computer science building and meet some of the staff there – everything seems to be well-equipped and the staff are very friendly. They had a room full of iMacs that would have made Skippy spontaneously combust with joy.

I'll probably discuss that more at some other point. Or maybe I won't. My track record indicates the latter, but I certainly haven't got the time now. I had to get up at 6:30 this morning and I've been either stuck in a car or walking around St Andrews for most of the day, so I'm pretty damned tired. And I've got a headache too, probably related to the lack of sleep.

The journey there and back did end up taking about 3 hours each way. Of course, on the way back, we had to drop Sam off somewhere in Glasgow to see a play as part of his AH English. And, also of course, he had no idea where or when he was meant to be dropped off. This resulted in an awful lot of phone calls being made as Sam tried to contact somebody who might be able to give him the phone number of one of the people he actually needs to talk to.

It eventually all worked out but I didn't get home till after six o'clock, by which time my headache had already set in, so I've done none of the homework that I really need to do... Screw it. I'm going to bed.

Have a nice day. More tomorrow. Etcetera.
