This is a snatched moment...

Advising for 2013-2014 kicks off next week.
S and I went to see a screening of the Globe Theatre Twelfth Night at the flicks last night and t'was splendid. The Mark Rylance one, with an all-male cast. It was a treat to watch. A man playing a woman pretending to be a man...
Anyhow, busy busy busy... Thesis goes in next week and talk and chalk begins the Monday after.
Chilli for tea.

The thesis goes in on 30/9. I will have two external examiners plus an internal moderator and the viva will be in December. I have been correcting and dealing with comments from my first and second supervisors. I have also been wrestling with English land law plus some audit work which has taken me to Dundee and will take me to Thurso. Dundee Botanic Gardens are ver' nice - I prefer them to the botanics her at AU, but the Winter Gardens at Duthie Park still come out tops. I saw Elysium last Friday and thought it ver' good.
Actually, the Dundee University quarter is rather attractive and full of intersting Victorian buildings.
I have bought a 1970s Roberts Radio off e-bay. A proper radio. Not one of these piddly DABs - something that gives me depth to the sound and which has a knob for tuning. Say NO to Digital! Keep FM!!
Let's see. I have been reading Nicholas Nickleby and - in parallel - watching the early-1980s RSC adaptation, which is on YouTube, with Roger Reese and David Wossname as Nicholas and Smike respectively. That was a magnificent adaptation - the magic of theatre &c &c.
Anyhow, must dash. Back to the nit-picking...

The thesis is with supervisors 1 & 2. The intention to submit gets done tomorrow.
Bedroom painted.
The mad heatwave is over - it is still nice but there is rain and when there isn't there is clammy.
Last summer in the cubbyhole I was working on a book, and just kept on at it. This summer has been bitty and I have been worn down by a year of pretty determined slog.
A butterfly got into the cubbyhole earlier today.
I need to slope off tomorrow pm to get new shoes and maybe some shirts.
Arranging workmen is a chore.
Oxfam may be in line for more bags/boxes towards the end of the week.
The eye clinic appointment went ver' well yesterday.
Miah has enjoyed the summer but found the rain to be a bit of a bummer.

370 sides of A4 and over 130,000 words. It goes to the 1st s/v on Monday and 15,000 words will have to get lost (plus, hopefully, some improvements made). Then proof-reading. Then final footnoting amendments. Then submission.
I am minded to instruct S to buy a complete Inspector Lynley DVD box set by way of celebration.
Pic-nic lunch tomorrow.
Cubbyhole on Sunday.
Susan's keyhole went well yesterday. Also mother's wee op.
I spent the morning listening to ... and Mary Chain and Luke Haines.
