So, as you might imagine, it went very well. Apparently 1 hour and 25
minutes is really quick for a viva :D It was a very enjoyable experience
to be honest, to sit down with such experienced academics and discuss my
work. Starting by telling me that I had passed and that they found my work
very interesting probably helped the whole thing go smoothly. There are
few areas of the background that they would like me to explore further, but
beyond that they really liked it.

What a cause to celebrate. So off we went to the local beer
purveyors, where my supervisor was the first to by me a drink. Caught up
with friends, had some lovely food, and today woke up for the first time as a
Doctor. Hooray!!!
