The corrections are almost done. Almost. This weekend I'm sitting down and reading through each chapter just to look for typos or clumsy sentences. Two down, five to go. Make the corrections Monday and Tuesday, send the drafts off to my examiners and cross my fingers...
I'd like to say that life then gets back to normal, but given that that will pretty much be the end of my PhD days, it won't really be normal any more. The job hunt goes on, but nothing has concrete has come up yet - I've found an opening in Edinburgh that I'm going to apply for, but I'm currently looking at going on an extended holiday of sorts in September. Hoping to come back and start providing private maths tuition again after that in order that I'm not hitting my savings while I look for more permanent employment.
Am hoping to also get into the swing of accomplishing things from my list of 101 things. One thing that I'm going to start working on is sending 101 postcards; if any of you want a postcard from Liverpool then let me know! Email me at "Nathan (dot) Blah (at) googlemail (dot) com" and who knows, in the near-ish future one could be winging its way to you...
Smells like dinner is almost ready, so I'd best be going. More from me soon I hope.

Good to hear that you're back again. Good luck with the corrections and the job search and all that. I'll be sending you an e-mail for a postcard. My offer of personal letters I rashly made a month or so ago is lurching on...I have already mailed letters to Andrea (The Mistress of the Dark) in Pennsylvania; Amanda (of The Milk Bar) in Indonesia; and Mike (fellow curmudgeon) in St Louis. John's (Out of My Hat) is in progress, and my daughter's is still to be written. If you want a real letter, reply to my e-mail and I'll add you to the list.
