Lab rat

Gah, what a nasty bloody day. I'm in the middle of something at work that is just taking for ever to finish. Partly it just takes a lot of man-hours just to complete, and partly the whole project keeps being hit by setbacks of various kinds. I've been stuck in our labs for most of the weekend, and I'm just settling down to write the final thousand or so words of the piece proper. Then up tomorrow morning with the young lady to write what's effectively a stand-alone piece, 1200 words long, which sits somewhere in the middle. Ah well.

Jenny has been incredibly supportive, bless her heart. I returned home today to find the flat spring-cleaned, meatballs made for my birthday meal tomorrow, and pancake batter with blueberries mixed for breakfast. What a sweetheart.
