Still going...! Been doing a talk today ready for when I go up to the Sally Army's lunchtime talks - 40 or so 60+ year olds - should be pretty good. I'm going to take some handling stuff with me for them to play with and lots of nice slides so they know exactly what i'm talking about. It's just a little Roman Leicester thing, but researching it has ( Read more... )

Goddamn work! I'm sorry I am having a life and lots is happening - probably why I'm not having time to post! So, a quick run down ( Read more... )

Hello, yes, I am alive. I have just been sucked into the world of work! Dissertation has 10,200 words and don't know when I'll finish it. Being a senior curator rocks, but makes you very busy!

Just a quick one - I should be working on my diss (which, may I add has 9000 words - woo hoo ( Read more... )

In house now. Like it lots. It looks cool. We have been v busy with moving and getting the house sorted and it's been very exciting to go out and buy stuff for the house. Big shop yesterday, got washing machine, bedroom furniture, bookshelf for downstairs and some nice lamps. Should all arrive on Tuesday - yay! Then I can finally get the huge stack ( Read more... )

Well, just passing the last bit of time before Mike arrives. He should be roughly at Birmingham now so only another hour at most. Then we get the keys and our lovely wee house - yay! I am all packed and ready, lovely lovely Manish is being a godsend helping me with the stuff in my room, then later on we have to pick up our new bed - shiny ( Read more... )

Hmmm... am quite busy. Got back from home last night after a lovely few days. Admittedly we were packing, but we managed to break it up with a mixture of walks in the sunshine, drinking, exploring the woods, more drinking, walking the dog, watching Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Mike pushing me, at speed, across Tesco carpark in a trolley at 2.30am ( Read more... )

Ah, back again and oh fuck me, do my feet and legs hurt. It's obviously residual gym damage from the other day as well as the obscene amount of walking about I've been up to since the early hours today ( Read more... )

Hodey hi.. Just fucking about today really. Manish has printed me off a copy of my dissertation and questionnaires so I can take them home on friday. Ticket all booked so ready and waiting to head off homewards - for my last week of living on a council estate - boo! Or yay, actually!

I now have little thin eyebrows, very crazy. Hurts like a bastard ( Read more... )

Again, I am passing time to get away from my dissertation. The current word count is about 7110, which is ironic, because I think the word count on this journal is rising at a faster rate. Ah well, at least having importnat things like dissertations to do means that you keep on top of all the other stuff you don't normally bother with, like washing ( Read more... )
