A busy April. Olivia made it from Germany to Oxford where she stayed with James for a few days. They Skyped in for a chat. Nick stayed over whilst waiting on his flat to come up in West End - he'll move in in the first week of May in between working on three assignments. Stephen's Bro Jon dropped in from Singapore, which is exactly where Olivia by chance bumped into Owen on the way back to Australia. James got busy in a campaign of Spring activism including an animal experimentation protest and a theatrical protest before the "The Tempest" at the Royal Shakespeare at Stratford-Upon-Avon. He designed the pamphlet and handed it out. Stephen's work mate, John, came over with family (and Bordeaux) to visit Dr Rusty. Stephen had kept a bottle of wine from Provence to share. Paulie and Stephen played a bit of tennis and had a few lovely long walks.
