Obviously your thesis is a work in progress from the day you start until the day you submit, but right now my thesis is really progressing well. Obviously after I got back from the conference trip I had a lot of paid work to catch up on, and that is taking up a lot of my time in the office. Evenings and weekends however find me at my computer at home writing away into the night.

I am actually very impressed with my work rate at the moment. It's lightened up a little this last week as my wife and I have been struck down with colds, but still, I'm getting things done. I've written a number of sections of text for my thesis and passed them onto my supervisors while I continue with others. It really is coming together and starting to take shape - all those encouraging cliches for things going well.

Not long to go now.
