Cautiously good
So – had the usual hard to fathom feedback from Parkside as regards results – but think its pretty good. The 'apostrophes 1' and 'apostrophes 2' which H & I had always understood to be less than an actual score of one, now seem to mean 'about 1' and 'about 2' in real number terms – so rather than…

Wedding present thank you cards
Hurrah! Finally got these nailed last night, so somewhat belated Thank You cards will at last be winging their way to all you kind people in the next day or so. From the photo below, you'll see why it took so long to get at the spreadsheet on my laptop… Sx

Good start..
Saw Prof yest and initial results were ok, although the main ones won't be back until Thursday this week. So all we really know is that my haemoglobin is the highest its ever been (a good thing) – go, those little red blood cell suckers, go! Which might mean that other blood results will also…

Now I feel a wee bit guilty..
…. because you've put such lovely things on the blog, in repsonse to my miserable outpouring of BLAAAAAH that I feel like a selfish git. There are so many people who don't have even a hundredth of the warmth, support, pisstake and lightning responses that I do – but at least I know this, and…

An Average Le Touquet
Weird, never thought I'd be writing that as a post title, but I just couldn't quite 'get there' this weekend in Le Touquet. Normally its one of the highlights of my annual social & boozing calendar but this year…… well either it, or maybe I, just wasn't quite all there. It started in its usual entertaining…

Worrying…
So, here I am back at work, more's the pity, trying to get my head around having to do it all 'once more with feeling', like every other person who comes back from sabbatical. But I'm finding it bloody hard, to be honest. I can't get the next Prof appointment out of my mind, given…

Wedding & Honeymoon photos
Aaaahhhhh….. here they come. A small selection of the days-worth of photos we've got from both the wedding and our honeymoon. Hope you enjoy – we had a total blast and are basking in the final hours of sabbatical freedom, before the inevitable return to work tomorrow (boooooooo!) Scotty = Princess for 1 day. Remarkable…

We’re Baaaaaacccckkkkkk!
Ta da da da da da DAAAAAA – the new Mr & Mrs Hawkes are officially back in the country!! And we seem to already have mastered the thrills of wedded life with 4 loads of washing and a lot of binbag management under our belts just this very first day of being home. I'm sure…

Heading off on Honeymoon
Now there are four magical words I never thought I'd be lucky enough to say… But here we are, 11pm on Sunday night after our wedding on Friday and BBQ party on Saturday. Absolutely knackered and taxi comes in 8 hours so have to keep this short and sweet for now. Lots more and some…

Just 42 Hours of ‘Clare Scott’ to go…
So – the final post from me pre-wedding. Am just sorting out the in-between-the-band-slots music, coughing the final small fortune to the florists, sticking down the (revised, of course, whenever do these things stay the same?) table plan, and waiting for himself the elf McHawkes to get back from dropping an entire sea of alcohol…
