Turning a corner

It looks like Gareth and David have both turned a corner - both are eating normally again and have stopped the V+D. Hurrah! Gareth went to see the chiro yesterday and she was able to get him some relief for his back. He goes back tomorrow. He has exercises to do and I just hope he will keep them up as it's the only way to see long term improvement..

I am still tired though, I need to catch up on my sleep somehow but David is a chirpy little thing at 630am each day whereas my brain doesn't switch into action mode until 730am. Now I know why my mum used to go to bed so early... The joys of being a mum!

Today I am writing a journal paper and examining/photographing the cross-sections of the panels I blew up over the weekend. I am collaborating with people and the University of Liverpool and I am hopeful they will have some useful input to give me soon. I know very little about the material we have used as a composite. My student is testing this weekend - which is a problem for me as I was hoping to go on a picnic... October is a bad month for weekends here as it's close to the undergrad deadline and everyone has testing to do. :-( Still there has to be a downside to every job, right? :-)

I really hope you guys read these posts because it is the best way for me to update you on how we are... I seem to be better at updating this than sending out emails.. Now if I could just figure out how to put pics on here..

Work calls (can't you here it too??)
