This is week 3 of official teaching in my masters programme. I must say, it's like boot camp. Monday I spent all afternoon lying on my back underneath a 17th century dining table, looking at woodworm damage. Today we hiked up and down Stirling Castle looking and critiquing reconstruction. We've got to have our dissertation subjects sorted out by next week (thankfully, mine is good to go, w00t!). Missing my fiance terribly, but loving Scotland. The resources for study are amazing, and having so many significant sights to study and significant collections (public and private) so close is *awesome*.
