I am a Doctoral Researcher in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh, a general factotum, and tea-jenny (sometimes with cake). Former Registered Nurse. Also can be found rambling/hiking, reading, sewing, watching 'Gilmore Girls', feeding my 'Civilization' addiction, or punishing myself on my trusty rowing machine in my ongoing mission to burn off the mid-life spread. Has "a nursey face" (random patient, 1999) - still working out if that was a compliment or not. View all posts by June L
