Natalie's Adventures

Well, as Peter has been away in Australia enjoying the lovely summer weather, I have been busy here with uni work. The dominant feature of my last 2 weeks has been the collection of data for my dissertation. I set myself the task of examining supermarket pricing here in London, and then headed off to get a reasonable sample of data to work with.

I created a bundle of about 200 items, and then set to work collecting prices on these items at supermarkets across London. It has been a mammoth job. But I've got to see a fair bit of London, which has been really interesting. So far I have visited about 75 stores. I still have about 20-25 to go, though, but hopefully I will be done by early next week.

Then, of course, begins the fun part: entering the data!!! We'll see how I go.

So I have been missing Peter immensely, but this job (and uni classes, of course) has been keeping me very busy during the day.

But I am very much looking forward to Peter coming back and to hearing all his news.
