I have a plan!


Just some of the food consumed by moi this week. I feel so blessed to have beautiful friends who are also great cooks! We celebrated Australia Day this week with a BBQ lunch (as you would) with David and Jo. It was also David's birthday so Jo made that scrumptious cake there. They're off in a few weeks to serve Jesus in Lightning Ridge so we'll definitely miss them. For dinner, we had lovely home-made meat pies at Dave and Jane's place. Jane also made apple pie for dessert so we were spoilt not to mention stuffed! Thanks guys!
This week, we also celebrated our dear friend Susan's birthday at Madam Fling Flong (this gorgeous venue in Newtown filled with lots of beautiful vintage lounges). Yep we've been quite sociable this month.

Ok so the title of this post says I have a plan. Indeed I do, a thesis chapter plan that is! Believe it or not I can see a glimpse of 'light at the end of the tunnel'. God has been so good to me in answering my prayers for results. I must always remind myself that He is sovereign even over my experiments. So I was able to confirm my results from the last post which is a relief. Actually it's more of a scientific breakthrough! Something I've been working on for months (and others probably for years) has finally worked. Although I will need more results to expand on this part of the story. Even though I have a plan, it's still very hard to get the actual writing going. I have so many experiments to do and so little time left in the lab! I would like to write full time for 6 months and submit by October this year. Anyways I've still got my paper to finish up and hopefully this will help with the thesis writing process. I'll leave you with a funny conversation I had with my Supervisor with regard to writing my thesis...

me: what if I get writer's block?

Supervisor
: that only happens to people who write fiction, you know when they're trying to make up stuff...
[looks at me apprehensively] I hope you're not making stuff up?!
