Slow starting day

kareinaWe were up much too late last night, so slept in this morning. I was still sleepy, so spent a fair bit of time over breakfast reading the e-mail I'd downloaded before bed last night. By the time I'd finished that and done some cleaning in the kitchen ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clovis_t announced that he'd finally got the router to work, so that I can access the internet from the comfort of my recliner in my own room, without moving the computer. Needless to say, I had to celebrate this feat by checking for new mail and LJ posts. Once I'd caught up on that and was ready to start uni work, we had a power failure! My computer may be a laptop, but this really just means that I've got time to safely shut it down when we lose electricity, it doesn't really let me *work* on battery power (nor has any laptop computer I've ever used, personally, I think the possibility of computer batteries lasting more than 30 minutes is just a myth). So I spent some time playing with my hammer dulcimer and then went for a walk with clovis_t, and the power was restored to normal around the time we arrived home. But by then it was already after 5pm (days have this way of slipping past so quickly!), so I settled into uni work. Since then I've managed three full hours of work (and a couple of interruptions) which has lengthened the thesis by 243 words and 13 figures, and brought chapter five *much* closer to done. I so want to give this chapter to my advisor for comments before Christmas...
