Dates

Sorted my July flights-wise today. Phew. Need to do a train from Paris to Grenoble as well but that can wait until I catch my breath I think.

4th to 14th July - Tunbridge Wells
15th to 24th July - Krakow (EPS HEP Conference)
25th July to 14th August - Grenoble
15th August to 18th August - Edinburgh

Bit unsure what is happening on the 19th. I could be going to France or... not. But I should be in Quend which is north France from 21st to 28th August and then back in Grenoble for the whole of September.

When term starts, I may move back to Oxford but I haven't discussed this with anyone yet. Things are a bit up in the air at the moment with regards to the experiment and funding.

Disallusioned

I always used to fantasise that as I grew older, adults would tell me the Great Secret to the Universe. Instead I just grow older.


(email to mum as she warns me of some things I have to look forward to in my 30s.)

Dates

So, I've been stuck in France for the past six months or so (ignoring an afternoon in Switzerland) and getting out is hard. Very hard. There was meant to be a collaboration meeting on the 29th June so I booked a flight to the UK on the 26th. But then they moved the meeting forward a week. And then today they scrapped it altogether (or did they? We actually put the phone down before they in the UK dissolved the meeting- it was beyond tedious to hear them bicker). And they actually extended the experiment here well into July.

So that is why there hasn't been a dates entry for some time. However, I do plan on making that flight to the UK even if I have to go to France the next day. And I do plan on attending a bbq and I do need to go to the dentist and the optician. So, even without getting my expenses paid (and without permission to leave the experiment) I do hope to be travelling to the UK.

26th-27th June - Oxford/Banbury
5th-9th July - Tunbridge Wells
