Isle Trotting
This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

This is the usual pivot-post. Ease you in with some games, teach you how to bake, and finish up with some light food criticism. Bon appétit It (still) Takes Two? Yes, we are still playing It Takes Two. It also takes enough time that we’ve got plenty more to play. I have been slightly side-tracked…

Eight till eight
Sunday working was only the beginning of my long working week. Monday was a marathon of a day which had me busy from 8 am right through to 8 pm, and I spent the next day recovering. The good news is that I finally have data! Not that I’ve actually analysed it, but I’m happy…

Sunday Working
I find myself in the Batcave (my shared office with a PhD student, Seamus) on a quiet Sunday afternoon, contemplating lab work and life in general, and how I seem to be lacking time to write anything as of late. Things have been fairly busy, but I can barely recollect what I have been spending…
