tiny bit

[kareina]

Work was broken up today with a trip down the hill in the afternoon to uni to learn how to mix the epoxy and mount the zircons (plus other misc tiny, heavy, non magnetic minerals which may still be present) I'd separated from their rock last week. I did manage to finish up calculations from yesterday in the morning, and this evening wrote up the results, giving me 401 new words today, and a total of eight new figures/tables between yesterday and today (I forgot to count them yesterday). It is still fairly early, but I'm going to call it a day so that I can get to sleep at a reasonable hours, as tomorrow morning I need to go back to Uni to get the mount out of the oven where it is setting, and while I'm there separate the zircons from the other sample and get them mounted. On my way home (assuming I'm done early enough) I'll swing by and drop off my application for Australian Citizenship, since tomorrow marks two full years since I became a permanent resident, and that was the magic number in effect when I moved here (people moving down here these days have to wait four full years from becoming a permanent resident).

In other news, the Barony of Ynys Fawr once again has a dance practice venue! We will now be meeting at Irish Murphy's in Salamanca on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month from 7 to 9pm, so if you can get to Hobart on Monday evenings, come dance with us! No charge for dancing, as the venue is free, but you can purchase a beverage from the pub in thanks for the space if you are so inclined.

hello! i bought many metres of lovely dark blue linen in melbourne on the way home from spring war, so i'm finally in a position to have a go at making a dress like yours! woo hoo! is your kind offer of instruction still open?

i surely can! i'm not going back to hobart until sunday afternoon, but perhaps i could come by after work next weekend? it would be around 3pm on saturday and/or sunday, if that suits you.

Either works for me. I've got too much to do, and not enough time to do it, but the only actual time commitment I've got is the newly instated Monday evening dance practice in Hobart.

is that the 18th? I think they've got the SCA collegia out at the Cambridge Hall that day. Would you prefer to meet here to do it, or meet out there and let others watch/learn while we work on it? I think from your house it is six of one half a dozen of the other whether you come up the hill or pop over the river.
