During my #100DaysofPhD I wrote a lot about my transcription project, which is split over two books detailing student registrations at a school. Not only have I just finished the first book, but I've now done 65% of the whole project. It's taking forever, but feels like I'm getting there! #History

100/100 #100daysofPhD

I've hit 100 days! In that time I've written around 12,000 words, accessed an archive, started a huge transcription project, attended training sessions, had a dislocated shoulder, several gallbladder attacks and sunstroke, but I made it 💪

A big #PhD goal for the month is getting to 70% in my transcription project, which means I need to get to 55% this week - easily doable, or so I thought...until I looked at my first page for the day and the handwriting was an absolute mess taking hours 😂

I gave myself the week off of #PhD work whilst waiting to get supervisor feedback, which I got on Friday. Turns out that was a good plan as I had 4 days of migraine, followed by a gallbladder attack. Tomorrow is a new week though...what will it bring?

Thanks! Basically all of the words have been written since I started my #100daysofPhD which feels like a really nice marker

A big #PhD day today...finally finished getting all of my notes into some semblance of first-draft text, and managed it before sending work for next week's supervision. Hit 14k words at the same time - v excited about that.

Three newly planted brunnera 'Jack Frost' planted into a border in front of a fence. There's a dark purple heuchera in front of them.

A newly planted teasel, in front of a fence with a climbing rose behind it, and an angelic in front of it.

Two newly planted plants are circled in green, one is a geum 'Mai Tai', the other a geranium, 'Rozanne'. Behind them is a rose, some angelica, a salvia, and then quite a few weeds dotted around.

It was far too hot to study today...it was a day for being in the garden, ordering plants for the garden, and lounging on the sofa just generally thinking about the garden...🌱
