My new picture

Well, i thought i'd explain my nice new picture that i've put on everything (here, twitter, facebook).

Not so long ago (well november to exact) one of the students in the lab went home for a visit. this may not be that exciting you say but as she's from mexico its alot more exciting than a trip to leicester for a sunday roast (although sunday roasts can be quite exciting esp. if there is pudding!) anyway, on her return she brought us all presents. during her trip it had been the Día de los Muertos, the day of the dead, when family and friends get togeather to pray and celebrate for all those who have gone before. The gifts she brought us are traditional gifts given between friends called catrinas, figures of skeletons. Mine is sewing!!!
