1) Completed all my documents
2) Went to the ICRC Museum. It's been part of my historical landscape since working with Quakers on the FWW centenary. Never dreamed I'd visit
2) Strolled to Lake Geneva. As it was dropping dark, happened upon a Christmas market on the bank. Amazing

1) Managed to avoid getting lost
2) Not yet a knock-out gem, but lots of useful material in the archives
3) Although this 'aparthotel' is genuinely 90s, in a Changing Rooms-type way, the kitchenette has offered options other than the usual research trip evening meal of a sandwich

1) Made my flight!
2) WHO HQ is hugely surprising. A wonderful, idiosyncratic, compact, 1970s timewarp.
3) Looking forward to summertime

These are HEPI estimates of the 20 institutions affected: I think this illustrates the impact if the tariff is absorbed in full by institutions.

What share of the 6% tariff different universities may try to pass on to fees - or the impact might be on demand if they did - is not publicly known.
