thesis countdown – II

So, here we have that irritating little turtle back again. I’ve stopped his games now though.

My thesis is still not handed in. I’m still hassling my supervisor to read it. He says it’s ready now – he just has to read over and ok all of the chapters. Theoretically this could probably be done overnight. Based on prior experience, optimistic estimates now say he may possibly have it done in a month or so.

pirates and ninjas…

Gingerbread pirates and ninjas!

(Click to embiggen)

None of the icing bags I had were very good for detailed work, but you get the idea. Note particularly the multitude of missing limbs, the man with a cannonball hole blasted through his stomach, and another with a chocolate monster bursting out from their stomach.

brisbane – kangaroo point

And then we returned to Brisbane – cold, miserable and windy, like the rest of the east coast of Australia, thanks to the dirty great big low sitting just off the coast.

View from Kangaroo Point across Brisbane River to the CBD.
