The great Mary Carruthers is here as a visiting professor at Balliol College and is doing the Eastman Lectures on historical perspectives on the arts of memory and the arts of thinking. I went to her second lecture yesterday and it was fascinating. There are a series of workshops too, and apparently we get to try it all out and see if we can remember every prime minister and the Psalms, the usual stuff. That's going to be fun.
It's now time to get back to work. If only I could remember what it is my thesis is about...
