Catching up with Fin

After my MSc, I remained friends with my supervisor. And these things still happen. Finley, my old MSc project student, was around, and we wanted to catch up.  And she works weekends so we aimed for an after work pint. I think the last time I saw her was when she came into the field with me

I work midweek, of course, so I’m a bit restricted. A drink after work quite quickly leads to me being home late and then having dinner late and then in bed late and then knackered the next day. So I suggested we have dinner in the pub too. Fin was up for it! And that meant my circadian rhythm stayed intact.

The pub in question 

We caught up about what had happened, and what would soon happen, and how we felt about that. And the food and drinks were quite good.

Later things took an unexpected turn. I had a puncture on the way out of Bangor, and Fin offered to get me home in her van. That was kind of her! I have a repair kit with me, of course, but it was nice to do half the fixing in my warm kitchen. 

She won’t be in the area much this coming time. But I think we’ll catch up again!
