Every month I set myself the challeng of trying 5 new things. They can be big things like visiting a country for the first time, or small things like trying a new app or a new type of food. Even so, to find 5 every month can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, and… Continue reading Favourite new things I tried in 2017
Want to hear something terrifying? There are only 41 days left in 2017. I know, right? This time last year I couldn’t wait for the year to end, 2016 being what it was. I guess none of us expected 2017 to be worse but here we are. This year I’m a little more… Continue reading What I want to get out of the rest of 2017
As usual, last month I was going out of my way to try new things. It’s a habit I strongly recommend and I always enjoy looking back at the end of the month to see what I’ve been able to try. In July I tried: 1. Working as a trainee patent attorney I started working… Continue reading New things I tried in July
July is already over? How? No! Bring it back! Ugh. Ok, it has been a busy month and it’s now time to look back and summarise what’s been going on. Here we go! Financial status: Ok, kind of iffy. Afterall, I did only work from the 17th of July this month. I’ve got enough savings to… Continue reading July roundup
So, I’m one week down in my new career as a trainee patent attorney and, you guys, I am having an amazing time. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am working really hard and I’m totally knackered but I’m seriously enjoying it. So much so that, even as I type this on a drizzly Saturday… Continue reading First week at my new job

Partly it was because I had started my new job and had a pretty typical first week in terms of trying to settle into a new routine which kept me very busy. Partly because I tend to blog about things I’ve… Continue reading It’s all so quiet

Let me tell you that the time flew by and, no, I am not totally bored and climbing up the walls. Five weeks is not enough time for me to get bored in, I’m… Continue reading Getting ready for my first day at work
Wow, this post is late. Sorry, I guess it’s been kind of a busy few weeks. Anyway, way back on 8th June, it was my penultimate day of work as a postdoctoral researcher at Glasgow University. In my research group there, the Institute for Gravitational Research (or IGR) it’s kind of a tradition that when people… Continue reading Dinner at Balbir’s
As usual, this month I’ve been going out of my way to try new things. It’s a habit I strongly recommend and I always enjoy looking back at the end of the month to see what I’ve been able to try. This month I’ve tried: 1. Graduating! Ok, technically I’ve graduated before, but… Continue reading New things I tried in June
Before I get started… Today there is a General Election in the UK. Please, if you are in the UK and registered to vote, do it! Even if you hate all the parties and don’t think it will make any difference, a spoiled ballot sends more of a message than simply not turning up. I… Continue reading Time off
