...has arrived. I've still been braving it and sitting outside with the laptop (and layers and quilt and hot tea) to work during my 'work from home' days. Not sure how long I can keep it up though.
In other "news":
I have a new layout from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
minty_peach. I'm still fiddling with the coding though to make it work for me but I like it. New header too from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
roxicons with narcissistic text added by me.
Laptop touchpad finally went properly bonkers and after a frustrating day where everything took five tries to get it right I stomped to the supermarket and bought a wireless mouse. I have now names him Ryan because he essentially saved Spencer (i.e. my laptop) from a fate in the trash heap. Another lease of life although I do know I need to upgrade to a new laptop probably within a year. Sigh.
First lectures for next week are written and include a lot of lolcats. As is my prerogative.
Research funding application has been sent off. It's only for some internal funding to cover travel expenses etc but still, fingers crossed

Thinks that have entertained me lately.
Oscar Wilde and Walt Whitman totally did it! Whitman opened a bottle of elderberry wine and he and Oscar drank it all before Whitman suggested they go upstairs to his ‘den’ on the third floor where, he told Oscar, ‘We could be on ‘thee and thou’ terms.' DELIGHTFUL! As the author explains: "History has reached out to you specifically and given you a gift."
Victorian vibrators! Here and also here and there's this one for 'horse exercises at home'. Yeah... :D
So I gather this is making a lot of waves but I just saw it for the first time yesterday when I had some random music channel on the background and suddenly what I was watching registered with my brain and it basically went 'WTF AHAHAHAHAHAHA' Man, Norwegians, got to love them.
I'll leave you with that.
