This is professional rain. It falls steadily, straight down, no messing about. The roads and paths have turned into streams and rivers and the constant sound is the whoosh of traffice through the water.
The rain has flushed out a few natural sights, however. My bus to the university today had to screech to a halt to allow three kangaroos to cross in front of it!! I was the only person on the bus who was at all excited by this event.
Today I gave a seminar presentation on our work on Twitter. The room was full, which is always a good sign. It is an even better sign when they all stay to the end, and ask questions. People who wanted me to read out the quotes in Glaswegian on my slides were, however, disappointed.
The seminar was for the Research Centre of News Media and Journalism, but a few interested people from other departments came along as well. Some of them were from Governance and Politics, and I have just received an email from the Research Director there asking if I would like to go along and talk to them and give the seminar again. So that is a hopeful sign that those that returned spoke positively of the paper. Or maybe they just said that my Glaswegian accent is not to be missed....
