I just had an ad hoc meeting with Alan. I was in Crewe anyway, on other business, so I thought I’d swing round. He decided it was a good time to give me an extensive amount of feedback, not all of which was positive, it must be said. My thesis needs a lot of work, but at least now I can start working properly again. My motivation is coming back.

Yeah, I know. Gotta stop using this thing as a diary.
