Nephew just texted to say his work trip from Minneapolis to London and Norway is off so he won't be coming to stay :( In the scheme of things it's not that big and I knew it was coming but I'm still sad about it as we've not spent much time together as he grew up in US. Oh well. Could be worse.

Good that we're thinking about our international and vulnerable students.. My guess is we're going to cancel lectures etc but keep some on site services open for students in halls but we're gonna have to think carefully about how to keep them safe.
