I'm still here I guess

Still not sure I've got over the cold that I had at my last post three months ago - I tried a couple of 5km runs on consecutive days near the start of lockdown and my lungs complained for a fortnight. I'm managing hour-long cycle rides aiming for every other day, I was sad how wobbly and breathless I got after two hours weeding in the midday sun on Tuesday but Kirsten made an insightful comment about mad dogs and Englishmen.

I got my group-project for the MSc finished and submitted, am slowly reading through the tables of contents of various relevant-seeming journals for the individual project … it's almost tempting to write about the sociology of people who have clearly been doing similar-shaped projects to mine for the last 25 years without very much progress.

Slightly fretfulness-inducing weekend: uncle Philip is very ill in Inverness (at least there's a diagnosis, it's dilated cardiomyopathy), and my pregnant sister-in-law Marian has just gone into the Rosie to be induced (at full term).
