In the black dust towns of east Tennessee
All the work’s about the same
And you may not go to the job in the ground
But you learn the miner’s refrainI’m down in a hole, I’m down in a hole,
Down in a deep, dark hole
I’m down in a hole, I’m down in a hole,
Down in a deep, dark hole- Gillian Welch
Now I’m not quite in the state this song suggests but I could do with a little sunshine.
I just finished marking my exams! Hoorah!
That’s a good quote.
To undertake is to achieve. ~ Emily Dickinson
I am very much over these practice exams about now.

You’re banned from making any more male friends. You (with a couple of notable exceptions) have excellent taste in female friends, but you’re shite at choosing male friends.
Definitely with respect to the icebergs - “but wait, there’s more”
On the hot side of things - where there’s smoke there’s fire.
And now for the very cold. It is the simple truth of icebergs is that the majority of them are hidden underwater. However if you happen upon one I imagine the visible bit would seem absolutely huge. It might even seem so fracking huge than you’d forget that there is all that other iceberg underneath. It is, however, always always there.
Lesson for the day - there is truth in cliché.
