The luck of the jammy

At the back of my mind all weekend was the fact that I have supervision this week, and how unprepared (again) I feel. I bit the bullet today and emailed my supervisors to ask them if I could postpone it a week, all apologetic and grovelly and expecting a stern "not again!" email back. Only to find that one of my supervisors needs to have some builders round and my supervision day is the only day they can come, so she had been intending to ask me if I would postpone and was really pleased that I'd asked. Phew! I'm sure I'll stop being so jammy one day, but I live to fight another day.

In other news, I had a lovely lovely weekend down south with HD, though am starting to feel today's 5am (groan) start in order to get home at a reasonably respectable time. Amongst other things I met his sister and her family, they were all lovely and really friendly, which was a relief :) We also went to Tintern Abbey which I really liked - it was too late and dark for me to take any photos, but this link has some great pictures.
