Normal service has not (quite) resumed...

...because the new Harry Potter book arrived the day after I got home from my conference - I don't really think that needs further explaination!

Being in Trieste was like being on another planet. It was really warm - the sort of warm you don't get in Scotland - where the heat is all around you and not just coming from the direction of the sun. The conference didn't allow much time for sightseeing, but what we did see was lovely...

The castle on the hill...


The roman ampitheatre...


The canale grande...


Miremare - the home of Archduke Ferdinand...


And of course the beautiful sunset every night.
