Great evening at Brasenose discussing employment law remedies with Hugh Collins, Lizzie Barmes, and ACL Davies. Fabulous crowd.

A *very* nice view, never fails to lift, but I’m not sure I can bring myself to look at the decimated Law section in Blackwells.

“To be continuously defeated by ever larger things”. Rilke magic.

The 566383 post-its brought me luck today, as I passed my PhD (subject to correcting typos).
