1. No Reading Wednesday post yesterday because a) travel and b) haven't finished reading anything and only started one thing.

2. I have now handed the final hard copies of my PhD in. Thus the travelling: Sun-Wednesday to and from Geneva. Saw friends, had many many weird feelings (mostly... angry? I was ANGRY at my PhD, i don't even know), got some stuff out of storage, including my German and Latin grammar drilling books.

3. Other travelling: St Andrews last weekend, Oxford coming up the weekend before Christmas. St A was beautiful, A+ I intend to go back.

Also, as noted in my flocked post, there's a Tumblr Implosion going on. Not to mention the insidious facebook policy change. The internet is, as someone aptly noted, not going tits up but rather tits-away. I have a lot of opinions but most of them are a. unsurprising and b. not particularly eloquent compared to many. [personal profile] conuly had a good set of round-up links if that's of interest to you.

Please enjoy this photo of a Musk Lorikeet which I took at home in August. I'd never seen them before, but they were chilling in the backyard, down by the water:
