Well, that's that then.
Another stage reached with my thesis. ExMemSec has just printed out Map 4.7 again, and that's it all printed out and ready to go and be bound when he goes to York next week. I have found a lovely seminar taking place in Ghana (http://oieahc.wm.edu/conferences/african_seminar/), and will write tomorrow to my supervisor and external examiner asking for references.
It has been, therefore, a somewhat exciting day (small things excite me!!) and as a result, my blood glucose has rarely gone into triple figures all day (*converts into UK figures - above 5.4).
The last low was not caused by excitement, but by heaving the furniture about. When we moved to Ash Vale, I made the decision not to decorate the room that was my study, but to put up the book cases and decorate it 'after the PhD'. Which has taken only 3 years longer than I thought it would. And we did decorate the room last August, rapidly transforming it into a bedroom in order to sell the house.
So, I've been waiting 10 years to do some decorating. Having lived in Wome for getting on for a year, I realised that the sturdy collapsable table that I was using as a desk was inadequate. And I never liked that collapsing printer trolley. So (after discussion with ExMemSec), I have moved furniture around, so that I can fit in a proper sized desk (for those of you who know our house, the tv is now where the wine rack was, with the big chairs facing it, I will put the desk next to the TV. The dining table is now where ExMemSec's chair was, and the wine rack where the TV was.
It think this will make the room seem bigger, but there are piles of **** everywhere, which needs getting rid of, or boxing up, or putting on or under the desk. Which desk, thanks to Mr Brown, I do not have (although saving 2.5% of a desk from IKEA but waiting until Monday seemed like a good idea, I would pay a few pounds to have a tidier house _now_).
