   And to round out a reasonably good day...

Catherine came home to mail tonight.
I like mail.
It wasn't mail containing my results, as I thought it would be, but rather, it was mail from the higher degree research unit at macquarie (again).
Unfortunately, they weren't writing to offer me a scholarship (I wish).
However, the mail did have this to say:
