it has been an incredible pleasure meeting you and having our occasional chats! I will always remember that there are serious competitions about sheep trimming in the US. Shouldn't we have a refugee team?

Good luck with the rest of the fantastic life you have ahead, keep your honesty and your great attitude to life. It will be awesome!!!

Thank you for being such a peaceful strength within the team. It was a pleasure being your (often) desk neighbour, share those discussions with you, and it is a pity that we did not get enough time together to watch you perform in synchronized swimming. I hope we get the time some day !

I wish you all the best for your PhD and hope to see you around, in Oxford or Geneva, or somewhere else in the world !

Take care :)

Géraldine

It's been a real pleasure working alongside you. I'll be forever impressed by your synchronized swimming career! ;)

Best of luck for your next steps, looking forward to read that research of yours in a few years. And hopefully our paths will cross again somewhere. Thank you for your kindness and positivity.

Enjoy the vacation for now, and see you soon!

What a delight spending time with you - ours visits to the library, Saturday lunch, opened up my world; thank you kindly for sharing tales of your marvellous adventures. You're a sense of grace, brilliance, kindness, humility, humour - a lady Nijinsky of our time. What a genuine decent, spiritual soul you truly are - an erudite funky calvinist too.

You have set the bar pretty high when it comes to reading - is it in me to read 4 books a month? Never say never - as long as each book is no more than a 100 pages :).

Ta ta for now.

Even though we didn’t get to meet often, but your kindness has always been a great comfort. I really enjoyed the quick chat that we used to have, especially when it was mixed with Arabic, and btw you have a beautiful and lovely pronunciation for the Arabic words.

Moreover, I want you to know that I am deeply grateful to hear your voice, while I’ve been unwell, it was the first voice I heard from work, also grateful for your thoughtful messages to check on me.

Wishing you all the best with your PhD journey.

It would be a true pleasure to see you and catch up again!

And will end in Arabic "مع خالص المحبة"

Time flies! Your presence (and your mum's 😉 ) has really been a joy, and I wish you all the best for what's to come. Much success and happiness!

Looking forward to crossing paths again someday.

I'm so gutted to see you leave, I will miss your organizational skills and fantastic word smithing - plus your Americanisms, an 'oh shoot' coming across teams or in the office!

Have the most incredible next adventure, I'm sure you'll succeed at whatever you put your mind to. Let's meet up in the not so distant future either in the UK or France, you are always welcome in Norfolk 🤗.

Best wishes,

Colette

It was super lovely to get to meet you. I really enjoyed our random chats at random moments of the day about the most random topics. Thank you for being such a sweet and empathic presence, you will be missed.

Best of luck for your next adventure future Dr. Seten! Enjoy a very well deserved break and looking forward for our paths to cross again in the future.
