Everything comes to those... who work hard.

We have good news from Lewis Lodge to share with you today!

In the grand scheme of things, it won’t even register a blip on the global seismograph; but for us, and particularly for Simon, my husband, who is the recipient of the good news; it’s the result of an awful lot of hard work, year in, year out, for over a decade.

Brilliant!

Maybe this is why I never made it in academia. Because I always wanted to be a writer, and I was scribbling away at my fiction instead of grinding out endless paper after paper after paper...

But... How can you be 'too nice' to be a Reader? Does that mean that all Readers must be vicious and evil and plagerise their students' work?

Mind you, my superviser wasn't very nice. And he's now a Reader. [ Or is he now a Professor?] Met him at a conference a couple of years back, said 'hi!' after not bumping into him for 8 years or so, and he didn't even bother to come up and say 'hello, how are you doing?' An amazing academic, but a lousy human being...

Sometimes I think I got my Ph.D in spite of him, instead of because of him.

Many congratulations to your husband!

Producing solid pieces of research takes an awful lot of work, so he richly deserves the accolade.

Congratulations to your husband, Simon! You are both richly deserving of being "ridiculously proud."

I hope you get to celebrate in grand style!
