Kent does the most incredible storms: it's been thundering and lightning-ing for 30mins. In other news, I don't have curtains in my room.

This is my 'I submitted my Chinese visa paperwork today' face. It's very similar to my 'waiting for the visa permit' face but still: yikes.

Today I'm helping out a friend who's a childminder. I expect to return a broken woman.

I'm also waiting for a visa wi everything crossed. Waiting is not one of my strong points. Pity my parents & everyone with a 20 mile radius.

Fellow academics: what do you do to get back on track during rough times? Responses and RTs could make a really powerful resource for all.

I can't tell you how pleased/horrified I am at my mole. I can't stop telling people about the terror. It's going under 'training' on my CV
