influx

The students are coming... run for your lives, the students are coming...! No more empty corridors to walk in, no more finding a place for lunch where you want, no more quite environment, no more seeing only badly dressed PhD students who haven't seen the light of day in ages!

I had to shave today.

Besides that, there is some good news, our instrument which was in Cape Verde for such a long time might be arriving today. The instrument is a very well travelled piece of kit which has gone to the Arctic, Antarctic, Australia, the Americas, around Europe and recently to Africa. The only place remaining is Asia where it will be going next year. But the Africa trip has turned out to be a bit of a nightmare with it being delayed on the way here by more than two months. But finally it might be here now... we can all breathe with relief now that the baby is alive and hopefully well.

In other news, sometimes two is not better than one.. check
