Image from the film 50 Days of Summer of the male and female characters looking at each other in a record store, repeated vertically. in the upper image, the male character says 'I love MK' and the female character says 'Me too'. In the lower image, the man has a series of Mariokart images on him, the woman has images of Milton Keynes: the concrete cows, a roundabout and the OU headquarters at Walton Hall.

My modest contribution to #BakeYourResearch. A Nietzsche Eternal Recurrence cake in the shape of an hourglass with jelly babies in the sprinkle sand. And I’d do it again.

How better to spend an hour than explaining Nietzsche’s challenging views with a moustache cake as a prop? Brilliant to celebrate Open University research with the Postgraduate Researcher community at #BakeYourResearch.
