Recovering from hip surgery two days ago. All went well, though I had more damage to the joint than we initially thought. Doctors are amazing. I was able to put full weight on it right after surgery and can walk around unassisted. Crazy!

Today was the last day of my studentship at the National Herbarium of Victoria. The past 8 weeks have been absolutely brilliant, working with leafy liverworts and awesome people. Sad to go, excited for the next adventure!
