Finished the last of my 5 research synopses—outlines of projects I’d like to begin or make further progress with in the next two to three months—this afternoon; something for Alan & Fergus to work on when they come to visit next week! Also had dinner at PGFC with Daniela Huppenkothen, who is considering taking a PhD position at DARK, Lars Mattsson, who is visiting us from Uppsala this week to work with Anja on the physics of AGB stars, and two of our recently started PhD students. Good times.
But now I can’t sleep! I will watch the inevitable progress of Juggernaut Australia and our hapless trans-Tasman cricketing friends and hopefully be off to bed within the hour. After all, there’s a whole lot of cross-correlation paper writing to be done tomorrow!
