I had 4 very vivid dreams last night, which may be a PB. 2 were the usual themes of alien invasion and resistance, and working in the games industry, but I also had a fancy property TV programme, and then being on tour with Metallica (of all things).
Didn't even have any cheese for tea yesterday!

Can confirm that Austerity never left the UK HE sector and is now crippling universities. I've never had to teach as much as I do now, while also being expected to bring in literally £100Ks+ in additional income. It's nuts, we need to be able to educate the next generation of British workers!
