thesis countdown

So I’ve tried including one of these little countdown turtles before, but deadlines in a PhD are apparently only really there for the sake of being totally ignored. It looks like I will actually really and truly no crossed fingers be handing in at the end of the month. So just in case, here is a little turtle for the event.


I’ve even found someone to do the thesis softbinding.

Now there’s just the hard part to go: actually getting feedback from my supervisor. I’m sure he’ll look at all of the chapters eventually.

on rock again

Despite the fact it had been raining all morning, and we had to run to the car in the middle of a heavy downpour, we still decided to go climbing. It was a good decision, even without the yummy Malmsford bakery it would have been a good day – and dry too.

The attempts to find Wabbit Wocks were in vain, so we just headed to Dog Rocks – we had the place to ourselves all day, except for the man who wandered past just before sunset and told us he ‘admired our spirit’.

little raincoats

My road bike all kitted out in it’s fancy new panniers, dressed up in their little yellow raincoats. Steering with the weight at the back takes a bit of getting used to, but it certainly makes riding to work a lot easier.

thesis deadline

New thesis deadline: In a couple of weeks. Well a couple of weeks after the current deadline. So mid-May. Or by the end of May definitely anyway.

Excellent, well I’m glad that’s cleared up. Meanwhile, finally, some feedback. So a major thesis overhaul is now in progress.
