Congratulations to Wales on winning the Grand Slam in the Six Nations! I have to admit, even though I’m not a Wales supporter, I was nervous for them on Saturday morning. Thank God they won. We spent the weekend in sunny, sunny Devon, to see Rhiannon and Robin get married. Top weekend, good weather, good…

Marmot, the outdoor kit company I like so much, just sent me their Spring catalogue. It’s full of the usual gorgeous pictures of people having fun in the great outdoors, making me ask, “what the hell am I doing slogging it out in the infinite thankless task that is my job, and not out there…

It’s another exam day today. We’ve staggered the exams for the medicine course throughout the first year, so that the students have a smattering of assessments rather than blocks.

It’s just me and Jack this weekend. Kim’s gone on a hen weekend in St. Davids in Pembroke, where she’ll be coasteering and kayakng as well as getting blotto. I wonder how wet they’ll get. It’s boody freezing. What shall we do…? We’ve got some errands to run this morning, and we’ll pop round to…

Canon 300D or Nikon D70?

Man, seeing that photo below reminds me how much I love cycling beside the beach. It’s gorgeous at the moment. The tide’s almost high when I’m cycling in or away from work, it’s so dry that the sand is soft and summery, and there’s almost no wind. The sea is calm, flat calm, and mirrors…

Woohoo! I’m home, and it’s only just gone 6pm! That’s the first time in a while.
