24 hour tube notwithstanding, transport to Croydon on New Year runs about as regularly as it does to the moon.

@DavidAWilkins Wilfred Getz was my wife's Dad. She just googled him and found your tweet. She says reading this has made her day

[David Wilkins @DavidAWilkins]

@RussLitten I'm very, very glad to hear that. Becoming a barrister would not have been possible for me if not for his award.

Just walked from Holborn to London Bridge faster than the 521. Pity the trains can't run on time.

Victory, snatched from the jaws of defeat!

Getting ready for another social security case!

Just won my first case!

About to appear in court for the first time.

Just sent off our skeleton argument and bundle in preparation for the final of the BPP moot on Tuesday!

@Number10gov @foreignoffice Very sad to see William Hague go. An outstanding politician and a sterling Foreign Secretary.

BCAT out of the way. £150 well spent...

Currently experiencing the mysteries of the Bodleian Law Library for the first time. Feeling like a stranger in a strange land!

[David Wilkins @DavidAWilkins]

Off to get membership of the British Library. Surprised it took me so long.

So the drummer from Blur was in our law school today talking about life as a junior criminal solicitor.

Life's little oddities...
