Monday 12th October: More wrestling with admin and budgets for the Living North Seas programme. Download the water temperature data from the dataloggers collected from the Ettrick fish pass last week and, at lunchtime, put them into the Gala fish pass. Both the fish counters measure temperature every three hours,  but before their results can be compared, we need to know whether there are any differences between them and comparing them against the same dataloggers will show this.

Tuesday 13th October:  The annual Technical Review today, when I explain to a joint meeting of the Foundation's Trustees and the RTC's committee how we are getting on with the Management Plan, what is being found, what data is indicating and plans for the future. In the afternoon, more Euro budgets.

Wednesday 14th October: Spent the entire day, 08.30 to 18.00 doing the Euro budgetting, with only a short intermission to discuss the final points of the advert for the tracking Ph. D. This will be posted on the "FindaPhD" website next week.
