the day just slipped by

kareinaI woke up reasonably early this morning, and was motivated to work. Started out my day reading my 1000 words of geology-related literature, and did a couple of minor uni related tasks, and it was somehow afternoon already, so I decided to take a break. Checked in with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
baronsnorri to see if he wanted to go for a walk, but since he's on night shift for work these days, it was still too early for him to get up, so I had some lunch, made the stylus (see earlier post), did the vacuuming, swept the kitchen floor, and a few other useful tasks. By that point baronsnorri was awake, so we went for a stroll to the waterfall, and one the way back got to discussing the property to which he's moving in a couple of weeks (owned by the beloved of madryn_1960). I expressed an interest in seeing it sometime soon, and he suggested that we go "now". So we did. It is a bit of a drive from here, since it is located in Howden, but the property looks like it will be a good place for him to live. There is a fantastic view, since it is near the top of a small hill, looking over over Margate and a glimpse of Cathedral Rock and the south part of Mt. Wellington's ridge line. There is not only a house, but a number of usable out-buildings (and a great shed which isn't available due to being full of the owner's things). There will be plenty of room for his hens, and he will be able to acquire other animals over time. I very much enjoyed heading out there. However, all of these distractions did mean a rather late start to my working (uni) day. I did write up yesterday's results (160 new words, after deleting the no-longer-needed stuff about the manner in which the calculations didn't work) and did some additional calculations for the one, final, sample for which I hadn't had good results. This technique looks to have taken care of that problem, but once again, it is pretty much midnight, so I'll put of writing it up till the morrow...
