Yay Jars! Sheffield's in Yorkshire, one of my favorite places on Planet Earth (and the uni is affiliated with the University of York, where I got engaged to the DH) - it may not beat Sydney, but it's damn nice.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Yay Jars! My friend did her Msc in your field there and then a PhD and it's a wonderful school for that. And she met her husband there, who's an archaeobotany lecturer, so maybe you'll meet them. I've visited there three times and I like Sheffield. So there, bad stereotypes!

flea, her husband will very probably be teaching me then, as I'm planning to take as many courses in archaeobotany as possible.
Okay, hooray for Yorkshire!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh, Madrigal, I asked John H too and he said he'd be happy to help out with info or anything else. Given he's located in Sydney, he'd be a good source.

It's a remora, dimwit.
Our flight from LA is overnight, so it shouldn't seem too long. And I'm definitely bringing an eye-mask and ear-plugs.
I looked up the medical stuff, and it seemed that it wasn't necessary coming from the US - they'd just assume we'd had all our shots.
We're talking about going back to visit the US around Christmas. But it's more likely we'll just fly in my younger sister and his brother - it'll be a combined Christmas/Birthday present for both. And it's also to placate her a bit since she's the one most upset that I'm leaving.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Would that be Bitey Sis, Madrigal?

Bratty - she'll be turning 17 at the time, so old enough to go. And Bitey hates planes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
