This is just a place for things that I think it might be useful to write down and put somewhere.

Comic relief: since I had already filled out Version One of the EPSRC forms for this year, they went out to Marconi quite early. Miraculously Marconi have managed to sign off on them, and get them back to the Board of Graduate Studies, so I am now at the very front of the Engineering Department CASE Award queue, ahead of all of those waiting for solvent firms to do the paperwork.

Oooh, I haven't written anything here for a while! Been exceptionally busy visiting relatives, and cutting back the vine, which grows about a metre in every direction every few days. I do this under the belief that if it expends all its energy making shoots, the grapes will suffer. Reading E. M. Delafield's Diary of a Provincial Lady and sequels, and can increasingly relate to sentiments described there.

Also have been eating chocolate - can especially recommend Montezuma's dark (70%, I think) chocolate covered dates, which are just incredible. Also their hot chocolate mix, although it isn't exactly the season for it at the moment. I do seem to spend a lot of time plugging Monty's to friends and relatives, and felt slightly vindicated the other week when speaking to them on the phone, only to be told that they have had a big spate of orders from Cambridge recently. I'm always ready to support small, independent stores, especially ones that stock organic goods - and chocolate in particular. I have to confess that I haven't eaten any Green & Black's for a while though - Monty's do much more interesting things!
