Things to be grateful for
1. My week of horror has ended. This included a visit from one of my main clients to discuss where the project is at and where it will go next, writing and submitting ethics protocols (huge, horrible and I don't want to talk about it anymore) and an interview for my own job.

2. I got my own job and will now be employed for the next three years! Hooray! Also I got a pay rise :)

3. We are starting a new gaming group to play Iron Kingdoms and it should involve lots of role-playing rather than roll-playing.

4. Our new dishwasher has demolished Mt Dishmore.

5. I am having a day at home. This will involve snuggling on the couch with Mr Rob and the puppy.

6. Coffee.

7. I just found out that Terence Scully has translated Bartolomeo Scappi's 1570 cookbook Opera di Bartomoleo Scappi and it is due to be published this year. I have been looking round for a copy of this book since late last year and now there is going to be an English translation so I don't have to learn Italian. *Happy dances*.

Alright time for the next load of laundry. I tells ya my life is full of excitement.
