A bit of a slow month - relative to the PhD anyway...... Life events have taken over to a considerable extent with the 'oldies' having an accident and weekends thus spent visiting etc.  Fortunately they are recovering well and should be back to some sort of normality over the next few weeks.  However, the events of end of May do highlight how little flexibility I have with my time, certainly no spare capacity - so PhD time has been taken over with needs of family.

I have been thinking through about how best to manage and cope with all my data I now need to analyse - part-time working means I have a disjointed approach to analysing my data and I need to somehow keep on top of my analysis and my thinking as to where the data is taking me.  This is not going to be easy to manage and is certainly a major concern I have.......

The NVivo workshop I attended last week (courtesy of NELCRAD) was excellent; NVivo 8 could well be the way forward and help to allay some of my concerns.
