    Jack’s into the Doodlebops at the mo (to the point of obsession) so he built their set out of bricks. He was very proud. Don’t worry, he’s still a massive Gorillaz fan. My Nikon is getting shiny spots where my thumb sits. It’s up to almost 8000 photos so far and must be one of…

    Unfortunately I missed the School of Medicine staff vs student football tournament this week. It was billed as the start of a range of tournaments between staff and student groups, so I hope to attend the future games. I wasn’t actually planning to play, but I was looking forward to taking lots of action photos.…

    The 1st year medicine students are approaching the end of term, and the end of their first year. It’s a long, tough year, but they have one more teaching week next week, a reading week, and then a week of exams. They have some more work to do after that, but we won’t be directly…

    Here’s a photo of Clive delivering an on-form after dinner speech at last night’s Medsoc summer ball. An entertaining evening beside the sea (in true Swansea style) at the Oxwich hotel. Thanks for inviting us lecturers!

    Dave “Gumby” Gunthorpe has stepped down as Cardiff Triathletes’ Chairman. I think it’s a fairly time-consuming and tough chair to sit in, and Jeff made it look easy for years and years. Thanks for all your hard work and effort, Gumby. Does this mean the pressure’s off me to sort out the website? Next!

    Guess who’s under the Vader lid. Jack visited his new school for the first time yesterday. I went with him, and it was a struggle to get him to leave. He’ll be starting (mornings only) in September, and he has made a bunch of new friends already. I think it will suit him perfectly –…
