Here’s what’s been happening in Oxford…
Oxford lose both the men’s and women’s boat races
Oh dear, Saturday wasn’t much fun for the University of Oxford’s most well-known sports teams, as they lose both races to rivals Cambridge.
It sounded like a doubly difficult event for the teams, who were struggling with a sickness bug in the build-up to the event.
We don’t enjoy reporting on bad news, so we’ll keep it brief and let you find out all the details on the BBC Sport round-up.
Oxford surgeon performs life changing procedure for 4-year-old Senegalese boy aboard ship

☂Weather
Spring… is it here yet?
It’ll still be on the chilly side of things this week. Keep a jacket on and don’t get caught out in the showers on Wednesday and Thursday.
Fingers crossed we see a dry spell soon, although looking at the two-week forecast it isn’t looking good.
