Random poll

I had an excellent discussion on Antonia Forest in the AF community [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!

I admitted wearing jeans with different turn ups, but I should point out that (a) it was in about 1987 and (b) I sewed in the coloured turn-ups myself, which I made with Laura Ashley fabric scraps, so I think my youth and craftiness should count as mitigating circumstances....

Hang on, did you do that as well? OR DID YOU WEAR MINE?

I think the craftiness counts, but the youth doesn't! Mine were normal jeans with BRIGHT pink turn ups. I did not sew them on myself.

Mine (or possibly ours) were floral.
