Well, we may have job news soon, but nothing is certain and now we wait. In the meantime, we are fixing up our kitchen for the next week. There is lots to do, as can be seen from this picture:



We have an entire wall to replace, a wall to repair, wallpaper to remove, a floor to put in, painting, a sink area to redo....lots of work, so we are using this waiting time to get it started! I continue to hammer away at the final chapter of my thesis, which is taking longer as expected (not unusual!). But it is going well and is a much more interesting, and challenging, chapter to work on than the others. I hope to have it completed and revised in time to defend it before the end of the year. A lot will depend on other people’s schedules and there is a lot that goes into the application process once the writing stage is completed. I look forward to having that to deal with!

Anyway, I’ll post again as soon as the job front resolves itself!
