But wait! There's more!

Just because I've left the cold, rainy recesses of Scotland doesn't mean that I've finished posting my various adventures across its misty moorlands. I've yet to regale you with tales of my trips to Stirling, Paisley, The Great Glen, Skye, and Orkney, or of the amazing birthday bash my fabulous flatmates threw in my honour.

Such posts will be forthcoming, but I'll have to ask for a little patience on your parts: naturally, I have yet to finish the two papers that are due for submission on 15 January, so those will take priority until next week when I can squirrel away some time for blogging.

Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday break and ushered in the new year with a bang. (Mine was spent playing backgammon and Trivial Pursuit with my mum and da, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.)
