Changes..........

Another week has passed and a lot has happened this week. Roland and I have had crazy weeks at work, and not enough sleep! I have some experiments that need to be finished ASAP, before I start writing my first major grant as a chief researcher (which is a scary thought) and which I am in two minds about writing. On one hand it will be exciting to take full control of a project from its inception and put myself out there in the scientific reviewing community, but on the other hand the I have yet to grasp the enormity of the task and of how I will deal with any criticism that is not constructive (if this come my way).

Our nanny has quit and given us 1.5 weeks notice. She has a job offer in her "real" job field and so we have advertised for some new to work 1.5 days per week for us. We have interviewed some already and we believe we will find someone just right. Additionally, we were so fortunate to have been given a place for Brodie at a childcare centre literally 3 mins walk from my workplace. it is a lovely centre. Brodie will be going on Thursdays and Fridays and I believe that he will be very happy there once he has settled in. maybe he can show the others how well he "reads" books :-)

Thought I'd include some recent photos of Brodie, these two are my current favorites

Well, enough for tonight, it is nearly 9 m and I am ready for bed. How sad!
