Well, sorry about the long delay between updates, it's been almost a month which means that the previous last entry (16th October) probably has about 50 hits. Well, I have been writing, just for some reason I haven't been posting them up on the web.
Ok, well for interesting news, I am now officially an Aunty! My brothers fiancée gave birth to a son on Tuesday, although I only heard about it when I talked to my Mum on Friday. The baby was a few weeks early, a bit of a surprise for me, but not half as much of a surprise to my brother I'm sure. ;)
Life here is ok, it was ghastly cold for the two weeks following Halloween, but now the temperature is back up around freezing which is quite bearable when you compare it to –20C/0F. Work has been busy, I won't go over everything since it's pretty much the same stuff as before, just a little more advanced. One thing is that we have may bring some money in soon, but the project is all proprietary, so I can't say anything about it. There are a few papers on the way, which may take more or less time depending upon microanalyses. The supervising is fun, although I wish our students put in a little more time.
This weekend was quiet, Doug, Tiffany and I had pizza Saturday night and hung out, but apart from that nothing much has been happening. Study is really consuming everybody at the moment so no-one has much time. Next Saturday is the big college football match to which we all have tickets so that will definitely be a big night out. The weekend after that is Thanksgiving, and although it's a holiday I may end up working some of it. I'm hoping I'll get invited to some little dinner, it's be nice to be with friends and not have to cook for myself for once.
