Friday's jobs

Well, the sun's out for now, but rain showers are promised for the next 3 days! It's hard to think that here in Sheffield, it's about 18 degrees C but over in Cordoba it'll be probably 35+ degrees C! I wish I was there today instead of here - a nice little walk around the Mezquita is just what I need this morning to get the inspirational juices flowing!

I'm seeing Stu and 11 to discuss his thesis structure and to look over our latest results on porphyrin interactions with our library of analytes. And, he'll probably tell me about the real fish tests he's been doing! It seems as though we can now tell the difference between cod and haddock! Some of your Sheffielders and Rotherhamers will know that the choice of cod or haddock can be quite important in certain places around here!

That'll take me to lunchtime and then a lunchtime meeting with one of my best friends Mike from CICS over a pint and a caeser salad. Next up at 2pm is our progression meeting which decides the fate of all of our Level 1, 2 and 3 students. More thinking today about our work on expansion/contraction of monolyers - had an idea yesterday but sitting on it for longer before blogging about it as we have a pending paper shortly to be sent off to the journal. Few more things to do before the weekend arrives and quite a busy week next week before my hols! Hope you're all well - please keep commenting.
