Oh dont. lol. J's kid sister has her 18th next month....I remember her naming ceremony.

Pending confirmation from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, I have been selected by the School of History as one of their four candidates for a full fees and full maintenance grant scholarship. This the one. The Biggie. I am so pleased.

Way to go, Dana! That excellent!

I am sooooo happy. Soooo fucking happy. There was a lot of competition for those four nominations.

outstanding - congrats!

Tankee:) :) :)

Oh crikey, Dana! Well bloody done, mate!

Thankyou:)

I am now all fired up for my research again. Just been checking out some secondary source materials to gen up on military structures and so forth. I did a module last year on it, but really need a more technical bent now. Fortunately my MA supervisor is still around (hasnt gone off for his hols yet) and he has some belting suggestions. Also been mucking about at the national Archives site. Seems most of the records I need are down at Kew, so may have to wait til I can get down there for a research trip. Got some excellent 18th C newspaper notices of deserters online though.



(of course this is less helpful for catching up on my dayjob work...lol)

Dani that's amazing, and goes to confirm what we all know about you - you're a true scholar.

Way to go Dana!

I finally persuaded amanda to do what I wanted.

Big cheers and a round of applause. Well done, Dana.
