through the wringer

what a day. i have been at uni today because i was summonsed yesterday by the deputy vice chancellor. he heard i was having a potential supervision/submission issue and wanted to talk to me about it. (thats cutting a long story short). we talked. hes a hard man, plays it straight down the line, told me i might have to suck it up a bit, but there was a plan b if needed. (i am anticipating supervisory obstruction because of the theoretical direction the thesis has taken. again, long story).

then i ran into one of said supervisors who wanted to know how things were going (obviously not having read the multiple emails from me in his inbox!) and we talked for a while and cleared the air a bit, so i am hoping we dont need to go to plan b. it could get very messy. it will depend on whether people can keep their egos in check.

fingers crossed.

on lighter, better news, i was the lucky winner of missfees blogiversary competition and this is what arrived in the mail for me yesterday:

yes a gorgeous hand made needle roll. ive always wanted one, and its divine. here it is unwrapped:

here it is half full (obviously i need more needles):

and here it is re-rolled (sorry still using the mobile for pix):

i like to fondle it. it makes me smile. thanks missfee :)
