so, word on the street is that it is going to be a hot, humid summer. Any ladies here able to give recs for a hairdresser who can deal with fine....ahem....frizzy hair that has a tendency to curl? Shorter, rather than longer styles.

a really easy salad dressing is just to mix some yoghurt with a teaspoon of dijon (or other nustard, but dijon works well) and a touch of water. A salad would also be good for recovery...

so...haven't been around for a while, so I thought I'd launch myself back in with a random question:

Would it be really fucking weird to get in touch with a teacher who went above and beyond to help me through some really, really tough shit 30 years ago to just say "hey, I've always remembered you, and I have turned out OK and am pretty successful, thanks"?

edit: thanks everyone

you know you're getting old when you truly love waking up stupidly early.

I found CPSU to be entirely useless when needed, Sadly.

as an academic, zotero is absolutely the way to go.

Endnote does a job, but is comparatively slow, clunky and huge as a program - not to mention expensive, if you don't have institutional access.

Even WITH institutional access to endnote, I use zotero and pay for syncing myself.

my pay doesn't land until Thursday night, dammit. I much preferred a previous job where it would arrive on a Tuesday afternoon. somehow that feels much more civilised.

first? hmm.

booyah

oh, I'm so pleased I gave up. for me it was a sleep issue, but it has helped in so many other ways. I still drunk occasionally, but I absolutely notice it when I do

yup - giving up has been a great choice! mostly I don't miss it, but an extremely hard few weeks makes a glass of red in the bath sound very tempting. Here's a herbal tea cheers to you (or whatever your muddle aged person drunk of choice is!)

edit: drunk of choice was a totally appropriate typo so I'm leaving it

edit edit: props to you for giving up, for whatever your reasons were

roast cauliflower is a surprisingly great meal in and of itself
