Developments

After a scorching hot summer, the weather has finally broken - autumn has introduced itself with a gentle drizzle of warm rain. In a break from my no rowing policy, I have agreed to row in a mixed boat in an upcoming regatta in Oxford (it had to happen sooner or later). Am also getting involved with a canoe trip down the River Wye.

College life is fun at the minute. We're planning a party for a very popular member of staff. She is lively and charismatic so I aim to make the party lively and charismatic.

Have just fully recovered from an equipment failure in lab. This has set back my progress by about two weeks. Apart from this, the work is going smoothly. It is inevitable that over half of my time in lab will be spent fixing and troubleshooting scientific kit. I've only come to accept this recently.

In a strange turn of events, the college development office has expressed a great deal of interest in an idea I had to sell the name of the Common Room for half a million pounds. This is profound stuff and is highly confidential - I don't know what would happen if anyone were to find out!!! Maybe I'd get a few more hits on my website - hint hint...
