In a meeting discussing student drop out rates, "attrition" in Soton-lingo, someone notices that in one column we actually added not lost students.

AAAGGGG. So the word "accretion" or even "addition" departs the bureaucrat language..

Yesterday redeemed by lovely lovely dinner courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] nmg and [livejournal.com profile] ias. This featured (a) viewing the 5 week old Garklet and (b) trying geranium chocolate. I leave you to decide which was more surprising :-)
