  • Summer Silence

    It’s so quiet. It’s August, and most of the Medicine academics (certainly the lecturers in my wing of the school) have gone away on holiday. The students are on their summer break, and the research labs are quiet, with the occasional confused PhD student. I’ve got another couple of weeks before I go away, and…

    I was late leaving work for the train today. Luckily, on the main road out of the uni I let a coach pull out in front of me & jumped into its slipstream. I haven’t done this for ages (don’t try it at home kids) & only do it on roads I know really well.…
