I loved Antonia Hodgson's Thomas Hawkins books, really brought Georgian England to life, so I was intrigued when I spotted this fantasy novel in Toppings in Edinburgh. It's been a joy - yes, all the usual fantasy tropes are there, but it's also a crime novel with plenty of twists and turns.

The upside to it being too hot to move much - craft projects can be worked on sitting by a fan or in the shade! This was started last year so quite a quick finish by my current standards! #embroidery #durenejones #grannyhobbies

It would have been my dad's 85th birthday today. He would have loved this glorious weather - he always said the sun shines on the righteous! I miss him all the time, but not in a painful way now - I miss sharing things with him, like seeing the unafraid baby robin on our garden path yesterday.

Sixteen years ago this week, I got a phone call offering me a 16-month maternity cover contract working for a charity I’d never heard of, focused on tinnitus — a condition I’d experienced myself but knew little about. I stayed for 14 years.

Back at my desk after a very enjoyable week away in #Scotland I think many PhD students know the feeling of guilt that can come with taking a break - I feel as though I should always be reading, writing, analysing, or thinking about the next thing. But time away really does matter.

Good day yesterday - we had a School of Medicine post-grad event where I won the award for best discussion 🏆. My colleague and I then had a stroll round the lake on campus, picking up an ice cream 🍦 along the way - just what was needed to decompress 😀
