Yesterday was PhD day, today is granddaughter day ☺️♥️

Turns out I’m not an academic fraud! 🎉🎉

Supervisor meeting today. Always feel like they will uncover that I’m an academic fraud and will kick me off the PhD. 😔

My research assistants are in place…let’s go! ✍🏼

Been accepted to present a paper at a conference - the first one I will ever have done. The nerves have already started! 😬 #phdchat #phdsky

Baby girl is 11 today ♥️🐶 #cotontulear

My first draft chapter for my thesis has just been sent to my supervisors. Now one week of panicking is ahead of me before next week’s meeting to discuss it 😬😬😬 ✍🏼 #PhD #PhDchat

Great informal supervisor meeting yesterday. Nice to chat with them about stuff other than my PhD ☺️

Found a lovely bookstore in Santorini - my suitcase will be going back heavier than when we came 🤭📚

A little light holiday reading #histmed #PhDsky

Just found out that my two dog’s
grandma was 18 yesterday - 18!!! And what a beauty 🥰🐶 #cotondetulear #dogsofbluesky

Arrived in Santorini ♥️

Off for a break in the chaos…

Oh no was looking forward to this 😮‍💨

Time to post a pic of these two beauties. Brother (Sheldon 11) and sister (Missy 10) from different litters. Best friends, worst enemies, typical siblings ☺️♥️🐶🐶 #cotondetulear #dogsofbluesky

Pausing my PhD for a few months. Too much going on at home so have officially taken a break. That said I’ll still be working on it, just not to deadlines.

Writing my first book review and it’s going surprisingly well ☺️

Great #PhD supervisor meeting today. Always so nervous beforehand but come away feeling good 😊 🤓 👩🏻‍🎓 #PhDchat #PhDsky

Prepping for my PhD appraisal this week. Feeling anxious and hoping I’ve done what’s needed to get through🤞 #PhDchat #PhDSky

Easing myself gently back into PhD work by reading this 😁😎 #PhDchat #PhDSky

Last day of relaxing before returning to #PhD work.

Heavy PhD research week this week before everything stops for 2 weeks due to Grandma duties 🥰

Oh to be a dog with a ball on a deserted beach ♥️🐶🐶 #cotondetulear #dogsofbluesky

Yesterday it happened. I bought a senior railcard. Good lord. 🚂 👵🏻

My latest piece of work has gone to my supervisors. Hopefully this will be of a good enough standard to get me through my appraisal so I can move onto the next part woo!! #phdchat #phdsky

Well hello Bluesky. 😁
