Apologies

Apologies to all my students for missing classes last week. I was really quite ill (I won't regale you and the world with details here) but hope to be back in action this week.

I'll be in touch with some of you about things to do, the rest I'll see in class. Everyone check out 'The Link' for a couple of new things I've put up there.

Best wishes - Mark
