I'm still alive

Just in case y'all were wondering, I'm still alive. Not that you've been beating down my door for another post...

Mainly I've been busy trying to learn to drive Edna (I put her into 5th gear for the first time last night!), which was a bit frustrating at first. I'm also trying to make myself do the dirty work of anthropology (fieldnotes etc), which isn't much fun, either. Plus, there's always the hibernation issue to contend with -it's so dark so early and so cold and windy that it's really tempting to just go to bed at 6 pm and eat lots of fattening food in case you won't wake up till February.

Anyway, wach this space for pictures of Edna and an update of the top-ten things I've learned so far (with no academic reference to be found)!
