I've been peeking over here every now and then but not as much as I used to, for various reasons. One of them has been that the beginning of the year has been crazy busy with writing and study. My study is part-time, and so far I've kept it at a conservative pace, but then I figured I could sign up for another course that would run over Feb-September, which'd give me only three months when both courses overlap; something I thought I could manage. Well, the second course has proven much more time consuming than advertised. Also, I'm not making things easier on myself by learning Latex (a program for mathematical typesetting), which is not required at my level but typing math in Word gets on my nerves, and I have to learn sooner or later so it might as well be now.

I've had some decisions to make on the writing front, which also resulted in changes of plans, and more work. But that will have to be another post.

I got to have a break earlier this month when I went on a week's holiday to the Canaries. It was very relaxed, and I got to spend time with good friends, but the whole thing was overshadowed by the mess happening her in the UK. We managed to apply, and get, the "settled status" last month, though, so at least we're hoping nobody's going to knock at our door to tell us we need to pack up and leave… I hope!

And then I got home and immediately fell sick with a cold. Yay!

Anyway, here are some Fuerteventura pictures:

Oh man, I've wrestled with LaTeX. Good luck with that and with your studies, and thanks for sharing the lovely pics!

Hugs! I'm glad you're all right. Somehow, many of my (new*) friends seem to have disappeared in the last couple of months.
I think it's great that you are studying! I'm just standing here chewing my hat... I don't think I'd be able to do this... (well, I've been writing my PhD for eight years already, this should be all the studying I'll do for the next... ten years at least... I hope).
Nice pictures! :D



*all my friends here are new, I've only been on DW for half a year or so
