Day 1617

Went to Staples to investigate binding for my diss. Looked in at the Jobcentre and met Spadey, looking rather healthy and together.

After an early lunch went up to Dulchester. Spent an unsuccessful hour in the library, had a cup of tea in the coffee shop, went in the lab to surf for extra diss details. There's a sort of dusty fin de siècle feel about campus these days - mind you, I've always felt not quite right there, there's always the thought of the journey home.

Made the latter via a new route cross-country. Had tea, listened to Doon McKichan again - she's not bad. C came round, had a long talk about this and that. His redundancy thing still hasn't been finalised.

At 9.30 the new series of The X-Files was on. Very annoyingly, they've messed with the theme tune. Story rather jumbled but interesting enough. I'm getting annoyed with all these 'to be continued' eps.
