Summer for the past 3 years has consisted of me moving from office to 'office' trying to finish a paper and staring out at sunny days #PhDlife

I've also nearly finished my results section for my last study. Exciting stuff. And in the absense of better content, here's more of my garden. #PhD #garden #nothingtoseehere

In the absence of having a life because I'm doing a PhD and I have small children. Here's a sweetpea update! Nearly 7 foot tall! #sweetpea #gardening

Sweet Peas! Harvested by some cuties from our garden in autumn, germinated and planted by them in the past 10 days. Let's not mention the hundreds of seeds that did nothing!

10 years ago, I had 6 essays due in a week for my Masters. I had no idea I would be slogging it out for my PhD, exactly a decade later. I have a handful of sentences to add to 2 niggling paragraphs....and then I finally have a full draft!! (That I hoped to have done in October) #PhD #writingdeadline

One of those days were I somehow lost all the work I've done since Friday. Autosave was mysteriously disabled and then my laptop crashed. I might just give up and open the quality street. #PhDlife

Every day, I tell myself don't fight with racists on the internet.But then I continually 'sorrow hunt' for their comments under news articles. As a researcher&humanitarian working with displaced people, am I being a coward by not taking them on? Or should I just do my work and get off FB? #PhDlife

Writing, editing, writing, editing....is it Christmas yet? But also, it can't be Christmas yet, I said I'd have a whole host of things done that I definitely don't have done. #phdlife #doweusehastagsonbluesky
