Today I gave a essay writing skills lecture for my second years and a lecture on philosophy and fiction for the third years on our philosophy and literature course. I now feel very tired, but happy.

First seminar on Adorno: complete! It was *AWESOME* and the students were very very chatty!

Second seminar on Adorno commencing shortly.

Then I must do admin, then give a reading of Possible Worlds and Other Stories for @swsworlds.bsky.social, then do more admin.
