Thesis and Sydney Trip

I FINALLY got to see my honours supervisor. The emphasis being on the 'finally' because it has been 3 months since I last saw him. I feel terrible for bad-mouthing him over the last couple of months after not returning my emails because I have since found out that he has been really ill (losing the sight in his other eye). I guess it would have been nice to be told about that.

He seems rather pleased with my progress and what I have done so far. Unfortunately, one of the things he requests I do next is trespass on somebody's property. He has told me just how hard it was to get permission to survey this archaeological site and assures me that the homestead is a long way away from the site (over a hill...) but I'm still apprehensive.

I have to make one more trip to Sydney for research and I have decided better sooner rather than later. Therefore I am planning to be up in Sydney on Tuesday night and will probably stay till Saturday afternoon. Calling Deeleea and Ian.... (and anybody else that wants to briefly meet up with me as I rush between libraries and the such).
