Back home since Saturday, I'm unusually chilled at this advanced stage. I thought we'd be wheeling around the countryside visiting relatives, etc., but the lessons of Christmas seem to have been learnt, mercifully.

Anyway, first time on the PC with any degree of privacy since the girls (in whose room Dad's PC has found its place) are in Omagh and Belfast.

In work news, Louise has asked if I want to supervise an undergrad off of Oxford Uni for 6 weeks over the summer (would clash with my though-of planning trip/GSFC general visit), and there are ATST fellowships. Which is very interesting. Dunno if they'd be at all interested, as my instrumentation (esp. optics) experience is v limited.

In other news, the ten-hour takeover on Monday was great to listen to, and himself was well pleased with the feedback and the general successful execution of the experiment. (He sent webloggy feed back links like this one.)
