Apple...just the coolest

TGF my new Apple MacBook...that I'm writing this on. It's my reward for finishing the thesis. TGF Alison's kindness... getting the first non-working (Chalkie's bad luck must be genetic!) Macbook back to the Apple store and trading it for this cool whizzy one. Big grin. 

Finally...

TGF this lovely feeling of having finished my thesis and emailed it to my supervisor. (Lets hope it doesn't come back covered in red pen!!)

Cosy

TGF warm duvets and fleece blankys. TGF purple sunrises. TGF 5 minute visits. TGF being almost there. TGF staying calm when Word messes up page numbers. TGF old man slippers when its cold. TGF wii play while waiting for the contents of your chip butty to cook hehe

Company

TGF the rat boys skipping about while I work...bounding straight past the popcorn...Boy Vision at work!!! TGF real coffee to wake up snoozy brain. TGF my glasses and my sight. TGF the mess in my room...a sign that I'm actually doing the PhD, not work avoiding!! TGF looking forward to dinner out later. TGF maybe it raining bad at half six this morning...so I can get some work done instead of selling nothing at the car boot.

Constant nibbling

TGF Haribo.

Dahl's Chickens

TGF being able to go hear JPK play... not altogether unpleasant! TGF haircuts. TGF making progress on PhD. TGF all the books I've still got from when I was a kid (I know...still am).

Links

TGF what NTs refer to as a 'support network'. I think of it more as 'people who have some idea of where you are coming from, and are willing to talk about it'. TGF getting to know Sig (btw..if you read this...I NEED to see the photos of you with my haircut that James was talking about!)

TGF a room full of stuff to stare at and distract myself from starting PhD. TGF cow slipper socks. TGF being facebook friends with cool people at school...we have a life beyond! TGF the Frosties I'm now going to go get.
