Well the move has started. It is going very very slowly right now because about a week ago I threw out my suitcases which where in a pitiful state and I have not had time to buy new ones yet. So far I am packing things in plastic bags, garbage bags, a small overnight bag and my laundry bag. Crazy if you ask me.
Today I have managed to move across most of my food and kitchenware, my full lenght mirror (because my new room has no mirror!) and some pictures to start personalising the place. But it is all so fresh and newly painted that I am feeling bad about sticking pictures to wall with blue tac. I do not want to ruin the paintwork. It is therefore proving to be an imaginative endavour finding wooden surfaces to which to stick the pictures. So far so good but I have loads more to go...
I have used the kitchen here for the first time today. I really must get a picture of it. It is fab and so comfy to use. I am seeing myself starting to take pleasure in cooking again. As well as not eating in my room which lately had started to become a daily habit. Pity nobody else was having dinner at the same time. I hope I manage to get to have some company for dinner one day soon.
Lab today was an unexpected experience. My supervisor asked me to attend a meeting and I did, thinking I would be able to sit in the background and listen with maybe a little bit of input. Ha ha ha. The first thing he said when we got there was if I'd give a short talk about my work! I mean he had not let me know beforehand to prepare a talk. Thank God He had put it into my mind to take a copy of my generic not for biologists talk with me on USB stick. It saved my life, or rather my pride and dignity. It went well and the meeting was interesting but I have ended up with a pile of more work to do and I can barely cope with what I already have on the list. The list which does not really exist and I'd better sit down and put it together!
