    Only just got home after a long but mostly productive stretch at uni. I’m almost there with the slides, and I’m actually quite proud of the effort (shock, horror). Doing it has also helped me feel more clear about the flow of my thesis and where all the references should go, so I’m feeling positive about the momentum. Finally! It always only happens near the end, hey…

    I’ve also noticed although petrol should be continuing on a downward trend, with everything going on overseas, I feel like they’ll shoot up again any minute now so decided to fill up on the way back at 169. I’m also very sure my rear right tyre has a slow leak from when I was moving house and busted a different tyre. 30 in everything else and 17 in the offending one. Car service and tyre replacement definitely first on the cards when I’m done.

    I was an hour late and they were all standing there, then ran at me when they realised it was me.

    Does anyone else eat fish n chips with a fork? I can eat them without, I just prefer to use one if I’m at home.

    Snuck out of the meet and greet. They can stay in the office, I’d prefer to spend my personal time doing my own thing.

    This is one of the temu things I got

    It’s all happening at Norfland (again). This time a car has driven through it. My local shopping centre is living up to its reputation for drama

    Looks like Northland had a bad incident of someone driving through the shopping centre with a car.

    I don’t think anyone was seriously hurt thank goodness.

    My brain is potentially cooked. Been earwormed by obscene chants from Primary school. No idea who taught us these things but they need a stern talking to!

    Loong beach walk, went to where the mangroves start. Saw two pelicans out of the water and close up, they are BIG, much bigger than I thought.

    I’m loving this beach/sea side life, it’s just what I needed to destress. 🙂

        these are part of mud flats/marshland that go quite a distance

        pretty much impossible to navigate after this point as it is all salty mud flats, no sandy beach

        it’s a nature reserve after this point

    Whew that was a super hectic talk-through of whatever shonky slides I already have but it looks like I am mostly there. The power of just slapping up one image with notes on another screen so you can talk as little or as much as needed depending on time!

    Looks like my supervisor is pretty flat out marking other stuff next week so it really is hyper-compressed crunch time rest of this week to get the slides to a usable place, then get a 90% draft of the thesis across by latest Tuesday next week.

    Ah well, I operate best under pressure and maybe it’s a good target for me to try and get this wrapped up by my RL cake day around that due date as a bonus motivator… time to clear the weekend and get more food ordered! 🦾

    Beach. It’s cold, I’ll rug up.

    and visiting the other side of the creek today, there are few rocks there and not many sea birds
