Having to come into the lab on Sunday is not fun :( All done now though and off home. Experiment problems mean trip to EH is postponed :(

Going home. If it hasn’t evaporated overnight I’ll have made a new scientific discovery. Not got enough done today so offline till tomorrow

Things finally evaporated, so on with the next lot of acid and away we go! Also- meetings, and wet sieving. Today is not so fun.
