Pause to reflect on a bench on the Meadows

I paused along my commute to work today to capture my blip. Sometimes it takes an external jolt to highlight to Edinburgh residents just how lucky we are to live and work in this beautiful city.

Once on campus today I was also reminded of my love for my immediate colleagues, and my admiration of the way that we offer one another mutual support at work. I helped Laura talk through a couple of tricky issues first thing this morning, Colin and I had a good supervision session with Iris in Slovenia, LyndseyJ battled with her thesis references, and Bruce and I worked hard all afternoon stuffing delegate packs for an event that we are running next week.

Exercise today: walking (14,406 steps).
