This was a tumultuous week. It was decided that my wife needed an operation and that the best place was 200 kilometres away. We were both very nervous and she really needed it earlier than it came so the pressure was increased and life was anything but normal for a while.
On the ethnography front there was the complex procedure of preparing to get a quart into a pint pot. How to include as many ethnographic guidelines as possible into a mini-project. A daunting procedure which I handled as I would a presentation for a conference.
The hospital or the project?
First I determined my available time; it proved less than planned. Then I decided which further reading I could allow myself in that time. Discussion board and twitter were the casualties. Discarded as being nice to have but not essential to the main task in hand.Then came the prioritizing of the parameters appropriate to my online flickr and Yeats theme. They remained as later listed in my ethnographic log. At the end of the week I concerned myself with printing out the material to be studied and making notes on my first reflections.
The week flew by.
