I sent this to my mother. It had pride of place on her side table for a while, and eventually ended up above the dresser in the scullery, gathering dust.
The photo always makes me smile. It looks as if I’m rigged out in a suit and bow tie under the robes, but I was wearing a T-shirt and jeans! The whole effect was a one-piece, tied on at the back, just like those robes in hospital.
Another thing; the photo was taken in February, four months before graduation. I hadn’t finished my coursework or done the defence of my thesis when this photo was taken. It could have been an expensive waste of money!
