Six weeks since the last post, during which I haven't been up to much honestly aside from the usual bustle of London life.

Taken lots of pictures, spent probably more than was advisable on pints and food, and managed not to attend the dA London Meeting while still being in a quarter of a mile radius from the meeting itself

In major news, after a few (utterly frustrating) months during which entry level scientific jobs seemed to have been credit-crunched into ending up like the Dodo, I've suddenly found myself with THREE open positions as Editorial Assistant at scientific publishing houses in London - i.e., the entry level gateway to my dream career in my dream city.

Working at the coffee store has been a nice holiday (or well-deserved break from last year's stress) and a badly needed social confidence boot camp (erm, leaving alone the whole "need to pay my bills in gloomy times" line)... but as all good holidays (and boot camps) must end sometime, the timing couldn't have been any more perfect than this.

So, applications revised, revised again and sent. Anyone fancies joining in the finger-crossing party?
