Visit Shetland - accomplished July 14-20, 2012.
Shetland was wonderful. I looked at and bought crafty things, climbed hills, saw seals and puffins, watched waves breaking on rocks in an ocean a breathtaking shade of dark blue, listened to fiddle music, and went as far north as it is possible to go in the UK without convincing a local with a dinghy to give you a lift. I also got to watch people shearing sheep, both the modern way, with an electric razor, and the old-fashioned way, with a serious pair of shears. Eventually I hope to post pictures of all this.
For now, my dissertation owns my life. I have finally found my stride with the data analysis, and not a moment too soon, because there are only 3 weeks left before the due date. It's going to be tight.
In other news, the Olympics start tomorrow. Reading the news, I am so glad I'm not in London right now.
Cheers, y'all.
