I had an excellent discussion on Antonia Forest in the AF community
trennels yesterday, ranging from Kingscote's academic status to Karen's success or otherwise as Head Girl. You should all go and join. I've also been making notes for a paper I want to write on AF, after a comment in
brandnewgun's journal.
Today has not been overly productive work-wise, but I did manage to call estate agents in Lancaster to ask to be put on their mailing list for property, and got a ranges of responses from bubbly and optomistic to snooty about my chances of finding a non-Skerton property for such a meagre amount. I've also been chasing up references and honing my AHRB proposal. Should be sent off tomorrow. My supervisor has given me his reference in an unsealed envelope, I'm just waiting until everyone leaves (I'm working late tonight) and then I'm reading that baby.
Tomorrow I have an interview in the morning in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, so I get to have a late start from home. I've just about interviewed all the women I need, and I have my second interview with a male entrepreneur on Friday morning. Might just get this project done. Of course, it looks like one of the events is going to be a complete failure, although the others should be okay.
My computer is behaving itself much better now that it has a new power cord. While this is obviously fantastic, I'm a teeny bit sad that I don't get to go and buy myself a new computer. But I think I might get a DVD rewriter, as I don't have that much memory, and TMWRNJ is taking up a lot of space, as are the classic hignfy episodes.
Bored now. Therefore, a poll!

Maybe I shouldn't be admitting this, but...
Date: 2005-04-04 10:11 am (UTC)At about the same age, I ordered a marmite sandwich from the restaurant of the Forte Posthouse in Edinburgh and was horrified when it arrived and they'd spread the marmite like jam. The chef dude didn't understand marmite and thought that was what you did. So Mum went and demonstrated how to make the perfect marmite sandwich, and all was well.
Mmm, marmite. I like marmite.
Re: Maybe I shouldn't be admitting this, but...
Date: 2005-04-04 10:14 am (UTC)Marmite spread like jam is a little much even for me. I love marmite.
