Anna and I left Friday night to head up to Birmingham to stay at her parents. We had a nice and relaxing weekend. Went for a few walks sat around the house. I did some work in their garden and read the paper a lot. It was really cool to see her sister’s photos from her and her boyfriend’s year long expedition in Australia, New Zealand and southern bits of Africa.
I read an interesting piece in the Independent about an old recluse who was murdered in Hampstead. Now the Home Office has said the the trial must be held behind closed doors (the first murder trial to be deemed so) due to interests of national security. Here’s a link to the article and the wikipedia page. It’s really fascinating. He published a few books in the 1960s and was a freelance photographer but basically hand’t done anything since then and just lived alone in a huge Hampstead house. Except he sent a postcard to his neighbor from America once. Curious.
I handed in my last essay in on Friday as well. Not entirely happy with the end result for them but I’m glad they’re in and done.

I think it’s the Albania/China connection. This guy was a spy, but for whom? The UK, China, or Albania? I can speculated, even if the UK press cannot.

Yeah I though spy as well. Maybe ferrying nuclear secrets or something. Anyway the trial is today but because of the Home Office we won’t find out the mystery behind the secrecy.
