Apologies for the lack of blogging, apart from the Count Your Blessings posts (and I'm not going to apologise for those, they're making me really stop and remember how lucky and blessed I am and how much I have). We haven't really done much in the way of anything interesting, and life is pretty much plodding on as before - HD still doesn't have work, we are both fed up about this, I'm still writing my thesis and related stuff, the Stately Pile is falling to bits (that's an exaggeration, but we do need to get some carpentry work done, and we had a leak in the kitchen at the weekend which thankfully HD was able to fix), I'm knackered and can't wait for some time off (2 more weeks of term, then the vacation - technically 3 weeks but I'll work 2 of them marking essays and starting on the next chapter - I will take a week somewhere though), there aren't enough hours in the day, I'm thinking of having an internet-lite week (like that's ever going to happen!), everybody's thrashing me at various on-line versions of Scrabble, the skies above Glasgow are still grey, the daffs are starting to come out (hooray!), I'm still wearing bedsocks but the hot water bottle is starting to feel like too much most nights, our local supermarket has shut (it's going to become another supermarket soon, but we'll have about 3 months while it's being refitted when shopping will be a bit more challenging - HD says we should use the local greengrocers and whathaveyou, which I'd love to if their veg didn't all look so manky), people keep recalling my library books, I've only got 2 days of tutorials left to teach, I keep seeing great jobs that are too soon for me to apply for (even if I did know where we're going to end up living which I don't) so I think I'm going to stop looking at job sites for a bit, it's too confusing, HD's still cute, God is still good (even when I'm wondering where on earth he's gone!), we still have lots to be thankful for. Yeah, that's about it.
Oh yeah, and my supervisors keep telling me my sentences are too long and I use too many brackets ;)
