Update on life


Thundery wintry showers

244 views

It's been ages since I last updated the blog- so I will dutifully make amends!

I had a pretty successful end to 2007, with getting the PhD underway, and getting back in touch with a large number of old schoolfriends through that notorious social networking site Facebook (a subject of heated debate at times on this forum). I even met up with some of them on 29 December, which considering that I was hardly in touch with anybody four months beforehand, was pretty amazing.

Getting back into the swing of PhD work now- I think the real 'nitty gritty' work is upon me now, with plenty of data analysis and manipulation of UK rainfall data. However, as long as I don't have too many problems on the programming front (the main downside of PhDs generally), the work should be pretty interesting, making motivation reasonably straightforward.

I'm also updating the weather records section of my website as it's poorly arranged at the moment and a bit cumbersome to update. Within the next month I should hopefully have all the years (1993-2007) up online again, though of course it will depend on how the PhD work goes.

As for the weather, I enjoyed that little taster from the east on 3 January, but at the moment it's a westerly train. I quite welcome this sort of westerly weather when it first sets in, but grow tired of it when it persists for over a week, which looks likely at the moment, unfortunately for snow lovers living away from high ground in Scotland and Ireland.
