Dissertation

I'm going to blame dissertation for having failed - again - to post on Friday as I had promised myself. I was in the library until about 7.30pm on Friday (largely waiting for the university server to stop crashing so I could get my exam results) and then the rest of the weekend I have mostly crashed out and watched the 6 Nations (go Ireland!).

Goodnight!
