I'm actually glad my promotor was so strict about the page count. It forced me to get to the core of my subject. And now this is what I always do when I have to write a report: no-nonsense, no embellishments. Unfortunately, sometimes my boss tells me I have to 'beat around the bush'. I hate that ...

Indeed, sounds odd, though I would not mind to try it

So, I am making a spicy cuppa.

I remember this from back in the 80's, now I hear they are calling it a cleanse, there is a popular clinic here that offeres full body cleanses, you first drink the above concoction and don't eat anything for 7 days, then you go in for a rather unpleasant sounding enema. The best part is, you pay for this "Treatment". Really wish I had come up with that business plan.

We had to cover ourselves with 100% Deet repellent as anything less wouldn't keep them away.

I think you are referring to our lovely Horse flies, only insect that can take a pound of flesh! I never did find an efective insect repellent, we would just wear hats with nets that would go into our jackets, the most common place to get bit is on the wrists where the gloves don't cover or the top of your head when swimming in the lake. The worst insects up North were the Noseeums I think they are called deer flies, little tiny buggers that would get in your mouth, ears, eyes and under your clothes if there was any gaps, or at night into your sleeping bag, just plain evil.

They look a little something like this:



Wish I could find one that shows the size better, but that are usually about an inch long (2.5cm) sometimes longer if your are up in the arctic areas in the summer.

I'm wondering if it's possible to walk on them. That would be a fun experiment ...

It's the warmest day here since the start of spring too! Although there's a lot of wind, which makes it just a bit chilly. But without the wind, in the sun, it's about 15°C

I've seen dissertations go up to 600 pages in Croatia! I have no limitations placed on me by my supervisor, but I will cut it down to try to get rid of redundancies and make the editing process easier on me later.
