I’m being interviewed for an article in IT Wales this morning. They want to talk about our uses of various technologies in the Swansea medicine course, which are many, particularly in teaching anatomy. Plus 1 geek point for me!

We went to Bristol today, to shop. Yeah, ok, I hear some gasps out there. It’s well known that my Christmas shopping is done annually online. That’s what the web’s there for, as far as I’m concerned. It’s there so you don’t have to interact with real people, if you know what I mean. Hey,…

I’ve been teaching the anatomy of the breast for 3 hours this morning. I’m getting really bored with breasts. Who’d have thought?

Oh yeah, you know that house hunting? Since everyone keeps asking: yes, we did have an offer accepted for this house.

We’re all off back to Cheltenham for the annual Webster Bonfire Party. It’s always a key event of the year – usually my favourite. My mum cooks too much good food, people bring their own specialities, and we all watch my Dad not quite set himself on fire/blow himself up. Under his orders no-one may…
