Retail rewards

"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit".

That's what I did today to the group of lab-based researchers who were examining me for my mini-dissertation presentation and panel interview. I think I baffled them with statistics and was therefore allowed to officially progress into the second year of my PhD programme.

As a little treat to myself, I purchased three vintage maps of Edinburgh, Toronto, and Worcestershire. They are all places in the world that are important to me and I think they will look rather nice framed and hung in our hallway.





They were purchased from Etsy seller bananastrudel (found via the lovely blog Grace Happens).
