Enough of the bah humbug... Happy Ho Ho and Merry Thingamee to one and all. I'm off 'Down South' to North Hampton for a very Smith Christmas (Ben's surname). His brother, Tom, has two young kiddies, Angus and Amelie, who are delightful. So it should be a fun time. Attached a couple of photos of me propping up each child in turn (OK the one with Angus ain't so flattering.. I think Amelie took it, and vice versa!)
Aside from PhD poopdom, I am feeling very fortunate about my lot given: my dear darling devoted parents (d.d.d. as my dad says - I thought he developed a writing stutter ;), the love of my life, Ben, and all the excellent friends and folk that have graced me with their presence (and even their absence). Yep, I'm delighted with the cards that have been dealt.
Hope you're happy. See you in the New Year (literally I hope for the Aussies among you!!!)

Hi all. I'm still alive. I'm still writing my PhD. I'm slowly going insane sitting at a computer all day. I'm getting there. I'm running out of chat. I'm outta here...
PS. Planning the big trip O.S. from 1/2/06. See the new links to the left for the itinerary... drool
