Ok, I like REM as much as the next person but not at almost 1am with drunken sing-along accompaniement #argh #closingthewindowisnothelping
OK thanks to twitter peeps & facebook peeps, plans for the day are to go to a shipping museum in the city then go read in a nice cafe :)
Am now going to #ISAP2011 in Izmir, Turkey next month (not presenting this time)… Who else is going? #archaeology #geophysics #prospection
Massive rainstorm outside…. Getting steadily worse after a lovely sunny day. Hope I can get to sleep! Hope the containertje floats :s
Only just getting up, zombie like after another rubbish night of not sleeping. Running after work then. Sigh.
Slept better and woke up to some lovely messages from good friends :) feel ready to battle SPSS once more!
OK, the idiots outside riding the annoying hornet like little scooter/bike up & down have driven me to going running #noexcusesnow
Groningen 365 Day 156: I made soup for the week. It’s impossible to take nice pictures of soup. http://flic.kr/p/a8Hfjg

Bloody Hell, Leonard Cohen….I wish I could approach what he does with words. Night all. Don’t let me read any Coupland for a few days, OK?
On my run today: Crows, ducks, geese, dogs, trees, modern and 1930’s cool architecture, rain….
Right. Part of tomorrows to-do list: send Kae tea, find a suitably awesome postcard to send to @felisferalis (more arrived! ), go running.
Hundreds of archaeologists around the world are blogging about what they do today: http://t.co/wS5eW97 - go & have a read! #dayofarch

Not dead, just not tweeting until done now- don’t think it’s necessary to inflict those levels of stress on all you lovely people
Biked in for the first time today. Corrections taking aaages, but it is good to go through it in this much detail, feel tons better about it
Thanks @misslaula :) twitter uses #193: people can look up obscure geomorphological terms for you late at night :)
Unfortunate astrological conjunction between full moon and the biggest deadline of my life. Always a bit loopy at full moon, which is soon.
Anyone out there with access to the OED tell me if its kettle-hole, kettle hole, or kettlehole? (Periglacial landform)?
Spectacular sunset in Southampton going on. Gathering thoughts and eating before heading on with corrections and re-writes.
Thanks for all of the EndNote help and offers, but I think I have a plan to fix it and my supervisor is v. Picky about how he wants it done.
EndNote has defeated me, or maybe trying to sort out the bibliography for my whole thesis defeated it? Either way, /HATE/. Sleep now. Meh.
delving into the depths of EndNote to make it do what my supervisors want with my referencing. I may be some time….
Re-do of discussion and conclusion to supervisors, stopping to eat and then on with corrections! and the Figures :s and then data :’(
Bad dreams and far too cold all night results in oversleeping. Writing again. It is going to be fine! Stop worrying Mum!
Sleep now. Write more tomorrow….
Right. Aim to have third draft including corrections to supervisors by email today. Then a rough print by wednesday including figures. Eeek!
M is home and we are both now being nightowl computer addicts. How very 21st century. 2.5k pretty good words is a good place to stop & sleep
I atent dead yet! →

Stopping for food. 8 days left. Eeek.
Damn M and his early start / saturday shift. Currently desire sleep above all other things. Still, writing calls :(
Awake. Glad I stopped and did some reading yesterday. Finishing writing today & will be much better for it.
Mock the week is making me giggle while I try to read papers on landscape theory :)
Waking up, then applying for jobs, the reading and writing. Feeling better than yesterday.
Dinner with Kae tonight :) and then more writing. Discouraging feedback has been had. Can just follow suggestions and hope.
Driving lesson beckons. Really really hope I do better than last week. :s then writing. Have to finish this week to last chance of feedback.
Writers block. Not good at this stage. Right, time to unplug the modem again…
Awake and getting on with it. Didn’t finish 2nd draft last night so on with that as fast as is sensible (don’t want to write gibberish!)…
Finishing PhD + pending unemployment and penury = conflicts of time management. Just applied for a job I really want, but have PhD guilt :s
So, bad dreams about the thesis have started. Best way to beat them is to get on with it. And to go and feed the ducks on the common.
Applications done, then the final hike to the summit of the writing. Hopefully, after today I just (?!?) need to do corrections & figures
Time to get back on with it. 3 jobs to apply for and hopefully finishing second draft today. Crikey!

The dough has now escaped from the containers we split it into and knocked the cream over! Egads! Better cook it soon… mmm curry….
Today, we have made curry and naan bread (well the dough is proving ATM- it’s monstrous!) and been to feed the ducks. Pretty awesome so far.
