I haven't been posting much, have I?

[rhyll]

I was listening to (or reading? I can't remember) a Thing about journals a while ago, and was rather heartened to hear (read?) that quite a large proportion of Virgina Woolf's entries were about how she really should write more. At least I'm in good company.

Part of the problem is that much of my life goes on as usual (thesis, thesis, thesis, gardening, fretting, family, friends), so while every day seems unique and exciting at the time, and I am often bursting with News, once I sit down to write the things that seemed so exciting to me seem likely to be less exciting to others. And then, the Gossip and such isn't really suitable for (public) lj content, at least not right now.

Nevertheless, updates:
* Thesis: goes on, continues to make me fret. The chapter I'm currently working on currently feels like a terrible mess, and is moving far more slowly. On the plus side, I have a wonderful new office-mate, PokMcFee, who is doing a good job of helping me to stay on track while keeping the office pleasant.
* Garden: a moment's silence, please, for the spring-beans and the broccoli. The surviving plants are definitely not as vigorous as BrotherDear's, but are nevertheless verdant enough to cheer me.
* People: I feel utterly spoilt by all of the wonderful people in my life, although as usual there are many people I haven't seen in far too long. Still, I'm keeping People-Time at that manageable middle-ground that keeps me sane.

Also: I still love bicycles, I have been excited by a variety of books, and there are many other things that I will probably be dying to tell you the second I click 'post'.

Gossip? How did I miss out on hearing gossip?!

Well, if gossip doesn't find you first, I promise to tell you about it at the next available opportunity.

D'you think you could manage some people-time with me before I go? I would very much like to see you.

The hard part is that I go early Saturday afternoon for Melbourne, but I'm sure there must be something we could arrange.

Maybe breakfast at TiAmo on Saturday morning?

Can do! 9 o'clock not too early for you?

Oh dash. I've just consulted my diary, and Saturday is family-visiting day :( Looks like catchups will have to wait until next time you're in town. I'm really sorry, my life is just way too rushed right now.

That's OK - I'll use the time for last minute packing etc. There'll be plenty of opportunities!
