I'm living at home. Obviously. It is a bit guilt-making because I am dodging kind offers of paid employment from family and family contacts all the time. Pity none of them is the slightest connected with archaeology! Up to Christmas, I spent most days at the university library and haunting the department, hoping to hear of any opportunities to get my hands dirty on an actual dig. I can't wait for the Dept to open again, and meanwhile I'm becoming very unpopular around here, and the remarks, particularly J's, are quite hurtful.
