I’ve got this

A colleague kindly left this gift of a new mug on my desk - it gave me just what I needed although it’s already been a tearful day so I didn’t need another reason to cry (but did anyway).

Surrounded by a tiny fraction of the carnage of my desk at work. The biscuit tin, sadly long ago emptied, is my executive laptop holder as it’s a better height than having the laptop on the desk. Don’t let anyone kid you that academic life isn’t all about the glamour.
