You need a holiday, and then Easter holiday arrives, and your planned holiday to Burnham with the family does too! Fun times!!

The kids had a great time away, Oliver crawling like theres no tomorrow, Ruben winning another Minion toy not he grabber machine…on the last attempt! Time spent on the beach, in the arcade, in the pool (and on the slide!) and Ruben swimming like a pro. A well needed break away, and although I had a stinking cold for a few days through it, was good fun and lovely time spent with the family.

Back to work and getting things in motion for a busy few weeks of experiments. Host cell responses and biofilm interactions to do, sequencing data is starting to come back now so will have many meetings on analysing that no doubt – and let the supercomputer do the number crunching! So after a slow few weeks since Gregynog (with breaks and such), letting cells go, and grow again from LN stocks, things are looking ever more promising.

Had a lovely catch up with Chris from genesis (my old work) last week too – nice to see he’s doing well, and such a shame that he’s now left the company..but all good things..

I’ve also entered the Cardiff Half Marathon again this year, and am running for Stroke Association – hopefully we can raise some much needed funds to help those suffering with stroke (or helping those that suffer from them!). You can donate by visiting my just giving page (http://www.justgiving.com/danieljamesmorse) or by texting DJMO86 <amount> to 70070 (e.g. DJMO86 £5 to 70070) – I’d be really grateful if you could support me 🙂
