Got talking to an elderly couple on campus today, and have now discovered a new favourite fruit! Mulberries from a white mulberry tree!! They also taught me about a black mulberry tree and medlars. A tasty (a slightly sticky) way to learn new things today

Sometimes when I run I recite the alphabet aloud to myself. How else do I check I’m at “conversational pace”?

“Persisting with talk in the face of adversity” - Apparently I should add to CV after music came over the tannoy during my conf talk today 😂
