+It's been a bit hectic lately because I've been finishing up my old job (at Imperial College) and getting started on my new one (Research Data Manager at the University of Sheffield), with a bit of a holiday in between. Hopefully things will calm down a bit now and get back to normal (whatever *that* looks like...).
+
+In the meantime here are three things I will miss from Imperial:
+
+- Lovely, friendly, supportive, competent and professional colleagues
+- Lunchtime walks in Hyde Park
+- Imperial College Scifi & Fantasy library (part of the Students' Union)
+
+And three things I *won't* miss:
+
+- Rude people & overcrowding on the tube/bus/etc
+- Masses of air and noise pollution
+- Travelling between Leeds & London all the time
+
+And finally, three things I'm looking forward to in Sheffield:
+
+- Taking up a new challenge with a new set of disciplines to work with
+- Catching up with old friends and making a few new ones
+- Lunchtime walks in Weston Park, Crookes Valley Park & the Ponderosa
