Last Friday night Claudi and I hosted a small dinner party to celebrate her completion of phase one of her final assessment (the written work / thesis) and to note my continued aging. In one of the below picture you can see the painting she did for me which is based on one of the illustrations in her thesis.
The thesis itself was amazingly presented. I can’t say much about the content because I’ve not read it. One hundred professionally bound pages, with a brilliant red silk cover sourced from the lining of a century old Kimono. A number of late nights went into preparing the page layouts, each of which was accompanied by soup/sushi/pasta and increasingly severe flu symptoms. But the final product was truly impressive—great work Claudi!
Our dinner was a walnut and brie salad, followed by a cream-cheese-herb filled chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto, and finished with a chocolate ice-cream and raspberry sauce. Delicious.

I can’t wait to see Claudi’s thesis. Of course bringing thesis to Australia probably means no room for clothes.
