Got a passport photo today so I could apply for a campus card at the new place ahead of time. Also bought new shoes to go with a suit (well actually quite a lot of clothing but it's probably about time) as my last pair of shoes had quite definitely worn out (and in fact finally gave up the ghost when the sole came loose at a conference the day before I had to present a paper). The snag had been that a new pair I'd bought turned out to be fine for five minutes and no real walking, but absolute agony after just 10 minutes of anywhere more distant. I'll have to write them off as a mistake.

Meanwhile, I also filled in my exit interview form from the old place. Marvellous how frank you can feel on such a thing! Hope it's useful to someone. But on the whole it came out as a positive experience at 11 years and 6 months.
