[15:32] well I can't really go on much after 9.30 this eve [15:32] but i don't mind starting at 6am tomorrow [15:32] if you are really busy we could just do it on sunday or something [15:32] and working through till midday [15:32] hmm, c'est possible [15:32] with a 1h break for a lecture [15:33] i only have 1 morning lecture tomorrow, y'see [15:33] what sort of state of portability is your stuff? [15:33] in a cardboard box [15:33] all my stuff is in one box atm which makes it fairly portable if me to you is easier [15:36] this might be a good idea [15:36] and forget doing anything tonight at all? [15:38] potentially. basically, afternoons and evening are when we as engineers tend to get together in the study room and collectively revise stuff [15:38] and they're really useful sessions [15:38] the bulk of the year's learning happens in these two weeks in the afternoons [15:42] ok, well, shall we try and do tomorrow morning then? [15:43] that suits me. what time is your earliest-stage-at-which-being-human-is-possible? [15:43] cos i mean it's probably worth either going from 6 or after my 9am lecture [15:43] erm, its usually midday before things really get going [15:43] either way i don't mind going through till 4/5pm [15:44] but we could try for 6 [15:44] ok... so save the higher brain functions - what about soldering? [15:44] 10.15am ok? [15:44] no, should try to get up early anyway [15:44] go for 6 as planned and i will go to bed early tonight [15:45] ok awesome [15:45] i will probably hit tescos for some croissants then [15:45] sounds good [15:46] bring coffee equipment too then [15:46] do you have a kettle?
