Thank you all
cheery thank you for popping on and letting folk now
you're a star
Bit of a releif - very happily talked through project for a goodly few hour and then been told to have a nice holiday and a few minor correction to do
Really sad not actually a Dr of Flowers but hey ho you can't win it all - you see real scientists do wear stripey socks (Mine were odd and knee length today)
Talk of work getting sorted for publishing etc and papers to come out of it all. The main thing is that the guru guy from NI really liked what I'd done and we really had a thoroughly lovely chat about it all and kept bouncing ideas off each other.
Makes you wonder whats possible when your own director of studies supervisor might have been
a, interested in the project and
b, competent at his job (do I sound bitter? I'm not I'm glad its all done)
(no contact or any such well wishes from him today) bah to him
Twiglets please - lobs in more cake - home - kids busy - peedie did a little dance with me - may wander out in a bit for an icecream!thank *********** thats all over
My stripey toes are a waggling doing a little dance - the word willow can now be looked at with fondness
For all your stripey vibes I thank you so much! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTotal debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:

Bah indeed to stupid supervisor
And hooray for guru guy! :T :T Make sure you keep in touch with him - you never know where it might lead! :j :j :j
What fun!!!! :j :j :j :j I will have an ice cream in your honour! :j :j Real scientists do indeed wear stripey socks :T :T :T :T :T :T0 -
Cheery I may join you - well not in real life but we may go for a celebratory ice-cream at the local ice-cream parlour.
