So I realise that it has been two months since I updated, and I did write a reasonably long post about my thrilling trips to the garden centre, a classical music concert, my viva examination, some crazy lady in Oxford Street and all manner of other exciting adventures.

As you can see, it is not here; instead I am on a London bus on the first leg of my journey to Italy, writing this update on my phone whilst my girlfriend talks about maxi-dresses and blazers and other things I don’t understand whilst I pretend to listen attentively. That’s progress eh?

I’ll do my best to keep you up to date with this brief, week long sejour that allows me to recharge my desperately depleted batteries before I start the next year and a half of clinical rotations, starting with the hell that will be pathology. That is, indeed, if I make it back; between staying in the middle of nowhere and hiring a car in Italy isn’t an enirely certain prospect. Luckily I do have a sweet hat…

To keep you entertained in the meantime, here is a ludicrous video I featured in for graduation about handshakes, including a man who has stolen the rector’s clothes and is wearing his face as a mask (no joke):

So in an effort to update whilst saving time so I can revise (which, incidentally, was a complete failure) I have made a video update- something I haven’t done since last year’s blog. You will no doubt enjoy my pathetic attempts to form a coherent sentence, and the ridiculous light shadow that has been cast on my face thanks to my sub-standard curtains. I am also going to remind readers about my facebook page, which I am not contracually obliged to do.

Warning: The video contains images of my freshly laundered superman pants (as referred to here). Viewer discretion is advised.

Enjoy…
