From my hotel room....


Today I spent the day with colleagues at a meeting at IGER Aberystwyth in Wales. For once, after a wet winter, the sun is splitting the sky and here I show you a picture of Dr Kit Macleod in action in one of the IGER growth houses! Nice day.

Just back form a terrific couple of days, filled the 1 GB memory card on my camera due to some fantastic subject matter and lighting! Here is a taster of the images I managed to collect - more blogging and pics to follow when I have time to unravel it all! Pip

We're so excited..........

I have to say that we are all so excited. Tomorrow morning we are leaving early for a 48 hour trip to London to see the sights. Train, open top bus, the Eye, natural History Museum....we're all losing it with anticipation......Look out for the photos next week. Dod

Doddy


Doddy

Helen is going through a phase of calling me 'Dod' at the moment, for some reason this tickles me no end. Occasionally it is 'Doddy'. It used to be 'Ad'. Sometimes, she actually does a real 'Dad', but in my opinion this is not match for a stodgy old Dod. Last night Anne syringed my right ear; it has been over due for 10 years and for the last 2 weeks my hearing on this side was almost non existent. Strewth, what an experience getting that lot purged. Now I must go and hear Helen call me Dod again. Dod.
