    It finally seems as though the paint problem has been solved by sealing the surfaces and repainting. This time around we’re finally getting some colour on the walls. Jack has a blue wall and a red wall!

    The Tour de France is really starting to get going at last, even if it is in the last week. Flandis (the yellow jersey) went bang in the hills, losing lots of time. That put him out of contention so the race is wide open again – who can win it? It’s the last day…

    We’re having a really hot week. It has been above 30C every day so far, which is very warm for South Wales. I’m very glad of the sea breeze and of this very shady and cool cycle route to work and back.

    I set up my Sky+ mobile recording options over the weekend, and downloaded the Java app to my phone. Wow! This is superb! Something useful for my expensive 3G data tariff at last (now that I’ve stopped commuting). This app is pin sharp, quick, and very useful. I don’t actually know if it works yet,…

    You’ve got to love fresh tarmac. Year round sandcastle building. Back on the bike. I don’t remember the last time I was in lycra. Summer hats.

    Today is the final anatomy exam of the year, and the last piece of the human structure module for most of our medicine students. Many of them were looking far more nervous than I’ve seen before. We’re examining the anatomy of the head and neck, which can get very detailed and intricate but is a…

    Time to put the mudguards back on, I think.

    My eyesight seems to have been getting worse recently. I’ve caught myself a few times closing one eye when reading dark text on a white background on a computer. Over the last few days the (very big) text on the Sky+ menus has confused my eyes, and again I’ve had to close an eye and…

    For some reason today I am experiencing absolute crushing boredom. I have no idea why. I’m holding an exam next week, and I’ve been very busy with the term so far, so maybe it’s just the lull before the storm. I can’t even go out and run or ride it off because I did that…
