After months of coronavirus lockdown, we were let back on to campus.

I followed AD and LK along the corridor to my office. There we found a couple of admin staff using the room for a meeting. It didn’t take long to shoo them out, then we sat down for our discussions of thesis external examiners.

It was good to be back in my room, but when had they built the train line and passenger platform outside the window? I remarked to the others that I could easily serve tea to the railway workers at such close proximity.
