    The results from the first anatomy spotter exam are up on the notice board (and on Blackboard, I think). All the first year students were looking rather tired and not particularly over the moon about being back in studies on Monday, at the term’s first anatomy session. I hope that when they see the results…

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope you’re all taking it easy this week. P.S. If you want to send me email, don’t use my work address. I won’t be checking that until January 8th(ish).

    Only one more day to go before I start my holiday… I’ve had some new additions to my office recently, and very helpful they are too: Big monitor, lots of pixels, lots of room. Everyone should have one, it makes working with multiple applications and windows so much faster. Great big whiteboard. I never have…

    Today is the first Monday since August(ish) that we haven’t been teaching anatomy. To commemorate this I thought I’d have a lie in, and read a book before starting work a little later than usual. It *is* late December after all. When I did get on my bike to cycle in, it started to rain.…

    Jack took part in his first Christmas school play this week, and we went to see it yesterday morning. Needless to say, it was ace. It had a nativity theme, but different classes dressed in the national costumes of different nationalities and sang a song and wished everyone Happy Christmas in that country’s native language.…

    Most evenings cycling home up the Clyne Valley cycle path, and particularly if I don’t have my full beam on, I see the spectre of a ghostly jogger. At first I think I see a man running in the dark, ahead of my light, but I never catch him. He’s wearing a light top, I…

    I finally managed to get out for a short run today. I’ve not been running for about two and a half weeks, and I’m racing at Merthyr Mawr in the Brackla Harriers’ annual Christmas Pudding 10K on Sunday. I had a throat infection last week and was just plain too busy the week before that,…

    We had a teaching Christmas party last night on Wind St, and we went out for food and vodka shots. Well, the vodka shots weren’t planned and I drove into town, so I stayed on the coffee. Bizarrely I appear to be the last one in work this morning after heavily oversleeping. I like drinking…
