Advent, flying by...

Ho hum. I likely have sinusitis. And will  be flying to Sweden in a few days. I got sick exactly a week ago with some cold-flu and it never disappears. But I really don't have a cause to complain. And I don't, really, I just wish I felt better (be gone, fever!) so I could work better. And so I could have my since long planned, and now majorly postponed (until Friday? until Thirteenth day's eve?) Swedish Christmas/Lucia/Advent celebration. If nothing else so we can eat all the acquired food before it goes bad. So yeah, nothing majorly problematic here I guess.

How amazingly awesome it is to have Pinda and Wokkels around when home sick though! And David of course, but right now he's away on a 3-day pairing. Which makes the birdies' company even more wonderful.

I acquired a Christmas gift to myself last week, a wonderful new camera. So I expect magical photos to be the result. But meanwhile however, I'd like to finish off all the photos from my old camera! And I certainly have a few! I need a new system for backing up though! Ideas?

I'll start from the end: Part II of the Italy trip!

In other news… I got offered another year for my postdoc! This is excellent news, which means I don't have to start applying for a new one until next year, and we get to stay in Brockville until September 2014! This gives me time to stay around for all the science that will come out of the project, not just to do the reductions…
