Working on eating greener/more local. There’s an urban farm not 200m from my flat where you can pay a fiver for a mystery bag of seasonal veg. Today I got courgette, runner beans, and spring onion!

My first non-2020 Christmas in the UK and I made a GRAVE miscalculation about the availability of caffeine for purchase (none in the house because I move in 2 days). God bless the Costa Express machine in the 24/7 Shell station ☕️

Got bopped on the head with a 400 year old piece of cloth, and thus have graduated with my PhD from St Andrews!
