Just reflecting on a great week at the IAL-IPA joint meeting in Aix-les-Bains. Lots of PalaeOpen work through a poster, a talk and a full-day workshop as well. And a great social to round up proceedings!

Last week I handed back my office keys and laptop, which wrapped up my time at BBK. Nearly 8 years, they have flown by and I learned a lot! In a month's time I'll be starting a new position (which I'm really looking forward to). In the meanwhile, BBK is now recruiting: cis7.bbk.ac.uk/vacancy/lect...

Nearly ready to turn on my auto-reply and start the holidays, and just reflecting on a thing my Phd supervisor Sjoerd Bohncke (who sadly no longer is with us) used to say: "Strange things can happen in the Holocene" :) Have a nice break everyone!

Marking essays will never be the favourite part of my job, but it does become a whole heap more pleasant when the final paper of the bunch is a well-written insightful piece where I even learned a few new things :)
