Not quite the summer I planned recovering from a hip replacement, but looking forward to being more mobile and pain free! My microsoc bag is making an excellent ice pack wrap! 20 days in and all going well!

Purple bacteria update - sadly it failed in our phenotypic screen - so no purple concrete on the horizon, but the undergrads and I wanted to know what it was - Janthinobacterium spp. - meaning violet. It is Gram neg and produces pigments that are purple/violet called jagaricin and violacien. πŸ’œ

Hope you commiserated last night. In the same boat. Amazing scores, barely any reviewer criticism. And rejected. There’s just not enough money to go round. Was told they funded 17.8% this round.

Grant rejection tradition - (should be a choc almond croissant, but they hadn’t made them 😑)Very sad that I wrote probably my best grant ever, reviewers had barely any criticism, but there’s just not enough money at BBSRC. The minor criticism from panel has received a WTF from everyone I’ve told πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

This!!! When I lived in the Netherlands after the disaster hair cut in a Dutch salon, I refused to have my haircut there again, until I found a British hair dresser living there. But you will be pleased to know there are many excellent hair dressers in the Bath area!
