    Look at me! I’m back in the lab! I need some images to complete a paper I’m about to submit, so I finally get to go into the lab, cut some sections on the cryostat and do a little immunohistochemistry. It feels good, and brings back some good feelings. Oh, the monotony of the post-doc’s…

    Jack is watching the Blue Man Group and drumming along with cardboard tubes from wrapping paper and two orange spoons. He’s following the rhythm too. I’m just glad he doesn’t want to paint his whole head blue.

    We did have some snow on Friday. Friday’s are probably the worst days to have snow if you’re at work and you drive because although it’s a great reason to start the weekend early, everyone else has the same idea. The roads get clogged (we don’t have a huge army of snowplows for once a…

    I’m a lazy blogger. Stu and Lisa came to visit in the first weekend of February and we popped down to a beach in the good weather. Jack’s firefighting imagination came with him and we built piles of sand (fires) which he put out with buckets of water. It all worked rather well, as the…

    I was practicing on the chipping range in the late evening, over a week ago. On top of the hill the views and sunsets are great.

    Our medicine students raised money for charity today by going for a swim, in fancy dress, in the sea. Bear in mind (pun intended) that it’s January and the water’s pretty chilly. They called this the Polar Bear Swim. Some of the staff got involved too, notably Phil here in blonde wig and black bikini.…

    Jack helped bake his birthday cake. I think “help” is the right word.

    Jack had a huge birthday party today, with all his friends and classmates invited. Organised pandemonium. Weeks and weeks of planning, preparing, hunting, ordering, buying, cooking, baking, cutting and bagging culminating in 2 hours of party. Jack and all his mates had a great time making things (masks, frogs, crowns, mice, etc), playing traditional party…

    Jack has been very excited with the build up to his birthday. He is very much into all things firefighter-related (thanks to Fireman Sam) so was very, very happy to be able to dress up like a firefighter, utility belt and all. He had a tea party with a few friends, and will have a…
