Been arsing around with CSS... Cute.

Settling in here at Bangor, had three sunny days on the trot so all is good. Ph.D is going slowly. Spent several weeks putting labs together which was hard work (carrying around titanic marble slabs... not good) but getting in at 10am and leaving at 3pm is ace! But then it all went wrong, the fume cupboards we need to use (just cupboards with an extractor fan, for working with toxic/volatile chemicals) weren't working. Some bird has built it's nest in the vent. So... two weeks of reading papers and sitting around later, they manage to get it out. Not so good.

Still not made it into the darkroom yet though, which sucks. Apparently the photography society here is "dormant" due to lack of interest. Permanent darkroom set up in the union basement, what a waste.. Fortunately, I've got all the bits I need to make cyanotypes now. No darkroom required (just big-ass negs). Looking out for a cheap 4x5, but going to try printing inkjet transparencies as well... Hopefully it'll work.
