Yay!!!  PhD supervision today - ramblings re. first 2 questions in draft 'yellow chapter' described by one supervisor as 'intriguing' - feels great, thankfully not told they were rubbish.......  Really enjoyed the writing - well more a stream of consciousness at this stage but feels good to be putting a thesis together at long last.  Now need to get down to writing up questions 3-8, have until beginning of March to get this done but hope to be finished with this first chapter draft well before then.

Really exciting to be getting ideas out for discussion - exploring what might be new and what simply reinforces known knowledge - debates with supervisors good too - all of a sudden beginning to feel as if on same level and can hold my own..........
