The recently unemployed and wonderful Arun just reminded me how slack I've been with the reviewing of free lunches. How are the people of the world going to know what sumptuous and often no so sumptuous free morsels cross my lips.

Last free lunch attended was the Dept of Psychological Medicine clinical meeting. Got there a bit late and all that was remaining was a club sandwich with the most amazing filling. Date and walnut paste and on the otherside cheese and lettuce.... Someone at the caterers was having a good laugh but man was it tasty. It was a desert sandwich to be sure. The talk was on the outcome of depression. How in the longterm outcome isn't terribly flash and that the methods and clinical data used to predict outcome are even more dim. So with me launching into a PhD investigating if proteins in blood can predict how someone with depression is gonna go, the outlook from me could either be very gloomy (there's nothing to find) or super enthusiatic (I'll be the one that finds it all!). I think I'll try enthusiasm first.

In the rest of my life I've started playing sport again. My random mix of UnderWater Hockey, Ultimate (here's a did you know... one of the original creators of Ultimate was also the creator of Die Hard... what a legend) and Golf are keeping me busy. I'm really enjoying being active again after a year of opting out of stuff.

PS
