So it turned out, we had to turn out for the start of the new semester after all today. Just when we hoped we might squeeze out one more day...
But to look at the sky this morning, you'd be right to wonder 'typhoon? what typhoon?'; beautiful *clear* blue skies, fresh, and a 'delightful' 33deg celsius. Yes, 33 deg. In September. Hmm.
For the rest of the country, today was actually a public holiday, Respect for the Aged Day. We also get all the aged statistics too: the oldest person, a woman is 117 (imagine!), there are more than 67,000 centenarians this year (imagine!) and 88% of those are women.
Nice idea but I would hope we would be prepared to respect the elderly every day.
Meanwhile, while I had no scheduled classes today, I do have a busy Tuesday to prepare for. Not that that stopped me looking out the window from time-to-time, for research purposes of course.

| Now just where did that typhoon go? |
 |
| Clear as... |
 |
| Intriguing wall |
 |
| Wheel of rainbow colours |
 |
| Cranes craning |
 |
| That holiday feeling |
Tomorrow is an early start, with three classes running on one after the after...it is going to be an interesting semester. I may join the ranks of the aged this time next year.
