in a Portuguese made bowl! š (yes, I was surprised too when I first washed it and read the “Made in Portugal” label on the back of it!…)
In case you’re wondering why I call this a Portuguese salad, just look up the colours of our national flag and you’ll see why :).

enjoying the sun!

Oh, it feels so good to be sitting in my office, all nice and warm with sunlight flooding everything! One has to use the opportunity to its full extent, as it seems that all of this will vanish tomorrow!…
And today we had a fire drill at the University…
My guess is that they hand-picked the day to match the weather conditions – it was so lovely outside that everyone just flocked outside to the grass for a while, it was quite a nice break in an otherwise dull afternoon!… š
My wallpaper for today…
… this brightened a bit my day today š . Not too long until Summer!
(and waking up today with the sunlight just flooding my bedroom was also absolutely fantastic! I was missing you, sun…)
Hello there, and welcome to my personal web page/blog!
My name is Manuel Marques, and Iām a lecturer in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kent (United Kingdom). I am also a researcher in the Applied Optics Group at the same institution. My work lies mostly in the area of Applied Optics, namely white light interferometry and its two/three-dimensional variant, optical coherence tomography.
Outside work I'm a keen runner/sculler/rower/cyclist, and I do enjoy being in the outdoors (photographing them is a bonus, too!). Other hobbies include tinkering with things, both big and small (not always with a positive outcome, I must say), travelling, reading, in no specific order.
