Nov. 15th, 2014 02:09 pmToday I am mostly in lab, with 20-30 minute breaks between flurries of activity in the main room that is currently at 16degC WHICH IS AN IMPROVEMENT ON THE 13degC IT WAS WHEN I GOT IN AT 7.30. (By all means tell me it isn't that cold! Then you get to sit stationary on an uncomfortable wooden stool in significant wind chill. "But Alex," you are perhaps thinking, "your laboratory is indoors," and you'd be right - but it's a clean lab, with the entire air volume of the suite of rooms being replaced 50 times an hour, with additional positive pressure inside the flow hoods, so it is in fact non-trivial.) Hence: bad selfies.
Deep navy blue jumper with bizarre drawstrings at waist, probably from a charity shop, acquired when sorting through Mama's clothes after her death; checked too-large-for-me shirt largely invisible, definitely acquired from a charity shop by Mama for Papa (when it turned out not to fit she attempted to give it to Middle Brother, who disdained it, which is how I ended up with it); fringed dip-dyed scarf/shawl in dusky blues from a charity shop but this time acquired by me; disconcerting-shade-of-green corduroy trousers acquired from eBay this week; and, of course, the boots (courtesy as always of the boything ♥):
