... and I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere with it. Hooray! (nothing much else to add, hope my supervisors agree, not much time to do something about it if not!).

I forgot to mention yesterday that as well as the preparation for the job interview, I received an email asking me to contribute a paper based on my Stockholm conference paper for an edited volume based on the conference (similar to the chapter from the Helsinki conference that I've been going on about for ages which will hopefully be published soon). Unfortunately the deadline for the first draft* of the chapter is in a week and a half's time, so although this is a bit cheeky I have written back and asked for an extension! I will totally understand if they can't include me, I can always rework the paper into a journal article for publication elsewhere at a less fraught time, but it would be nice if I can be included if possible in the book. That would though mean more work work work for a couple more weeks after submission - I wonder, maybe I can stop working by Christmas?

* I initially typed that as "daft". Which made me smile :)
