A life on the ocean wave!


hmmm... Back after a few days holiday bobbing about in the Norfolk Broads.  I know it's probably raining there now but it still seems kind of appealing.

It's freshers week here, which means the streets of Coventry are vibrant/crawling with bright young things (depending on your point of view).

I am feeling ever so slightly smug as my sabbatical has started, meaning I am somewhat remote from the frenetic activities that herald a new academic year. 

I had a very fruitful meeting with PhD student today to discuss her plans for research on assistance dogs.  We are thinking about possible publications already.

Misty eyed



I have been working today  - HONEST.  More marking  - had enough now.  Just a few emails, etc. to deal with before it's time to put up the 'out of office' sign and then I'm officially on my hols.

Off to the misty autumnal Norfolk broads for a few days messing around in a boat.
