Firstly – with respect to my trip home – I should almost certainly be around in the UK for about 7-10 days or so starting from the 18th June. I will be travelling about a bit but it would be great to see as many people as I can while I’m back because I don’t know when my next trip home will be!
I’ve had some pretty cool stuff going on lately. The lab presentations have slowed down somewhat, which is nice. The last two Monday evenings have been spent indoor climbing! Not something I would have seen myself doing a few months ago but it’s good fun 
I don’t think I’m particularly built appropriately for it but it’s some exercise all the same. Also had another wine & cheese night last night which was good fun. Tasting 30 different wines and a decent serving of cheese for $17 (£8) cannot be scoffed at!
Unfortunately, just to put a downer on things, one of my hard disks failed last night as well. Might not sound all that terrible after the good things above, but it’s bloody annoying because it had a hell of a lot of data on it. Luckily, none of it was crucial, but it was all stuff I wanted enough to have made the effort to bring it over with me. Oh well. C’est la vie.
