I've been away on a fieldtrip to Norway, which didn't turn out to be quite as productive as I would have hoped, but at least I got a little bit of work done, and I read quite a bit in Wanderlust, by Rebecca Solnit, which I think can be really useful to develop my work further.
The interim reviews and a tutorial with Sean Kaye (guest teacher from Leeds) was very good, and I have tons of work ahead of me, but at least I have little bit of a sense of direction. Just have to make sure I don't chicken out.
The trip took me from Torp airport, via Kristiansand to Sandnes were we spent the night before spending the day in Stavanger. Saw Anthony Gormley's Broken Column and Geocities installation thing outside the Oil Museum. In the evening we went to Bergen to my family.
Sunday morning we drove to Ulnes, where we stayed for a couple of hours before going south again to Oslo. It was absolutely freezing in Oslo. But still had a brilliant day, meeting old friends at th pub and going for dinner in the evening. It was very nice.
So happy spring is arriving in Glasgow at the moment. Nice to be back.
Tomorrow I am going to Ayr - a nice place by the coast. I went there last year with a friend who was visiting from Norway, and we had a great time on the beach. Hopefully it will be time for a short walk on the beach during my lunchbreak, but my hope are not too high.
