Well I've just moved into a new flat that overlooks a marina in Abingdon (just south of Oxford). Awesome flat, so much more room than what I was used to and it's great to get post addressed to Dr.
Started working for
Schlumberger end of last year on the reservoir simulation side of things, it's more coding than I would have liked (with beta around the corner doesn't help) but working with a great bunch of people in a really good environment and the pay ain't half bad

I'll see how things pan out over the next few years, there is interesting physics going on and talking to others, I can see myself sticking around for a while.
In my social life, my girlfriend and I entered the 3rd year of our relationship and we are still doing great, she has just submitted her thesis and is likely to move in, that will be an interesting change. It has been a long distance relationship at times and then not so (while we were both out in Geneva), it'll be the test as to whether we take the next step...glup...or not.
All in all, considering I was living at home with my parents this time last year, bashing my head against a brick wall trying to finish my thesis and feeling pretty down in the dumps, things are a hell of a lot better
