It’s Saturday, but I’m trying to chip away at this dissertation. I’m revising chapter 3 with the notes from Knut’s critique. He would like to share this chapter with the Maasai research group, so I hope to have it done tonight to email the PDF to the group. Then they can have time to read the pages prior to Wednesday’s meeting.
After lunch, I took a break and walked with Anya down to an apotek (drug store) that had Burt’s Beeswax cuticle cream. This is a British chain, as the Norwegian chain doesn’t carry the cuticle cream. We stopped and picked up some groceries, which was our most expensive grocery shopping yet at about $60. As I only buy what I can carry, it usually is about half of that, but with Anya and some hospitality chocolates to buy, it tallied up.
Anya picked up some more yarn as well, so she has something to do while she is listening to her online English course videos.
The weather was a beautiful spring day with crocuses showing their colors around the town.
I did some online bill pay, a bit of cleaning, and back to plodding along on the dissertation.
Anya walked over to a friend’s house as there is something about the Eurovision competition that is being televised. Thus, the chocolate for the gathering. I’ll find out more about the music and gathering on our walk home. She’s going to text me to walk up to the area where her friend’s house is, and then walk back together. I better load more money on my cell phone (“mobile”) just in case. I recently received a text that I was running low on kroner. (I had to cut and paste the Norwegian message into the Google Translate app to be able to figure it out!)
Plodding along,
Beth
