Time is flying by ever so quickly and quite sadly….
The good news is that I submitted the first chapter of my dissertation a day ahead of schedule. It was probably the longest academic piece of writing I have ever done and to think that it’s only part of the entire project at 47 pages in totality. I’m not saying it’s up to scratch for quality, but at least it’s the first milestone achieved in this long doctoral journey…
With that said, I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking on the other activities of our summer holiday:
