I had guessed it was the reason for your absence
however slow progress is still progress and that's good, right?

'tis indeed. At least I hope so.
Think I made a little discovery on Friday so I've spent most of today struggling with the motivation to test it properly. I may just be wandering into another dead end but at least I think this might lead somewhere.

Still, how have your applications been going?

Like a big old bag of shit quite frankly
got turned down for two places in the last two days; only application still in is Oxford, and lets face it, I've already fucked that up once, I'm never going to get a second interview.
No PhD for me, it seems.

Bugger...I'm sorry to hear it.
Well, I hope in spite of your pessimistic assessment that Oxford at least get back to you with another interview...otherwise I hope the backup plan turns up something good come September. (Have you spotted anything more interesting you could drift into?)

I'm not really sure at the moment
my current plan seems to be to move to London and bully some unsuspecting PI in to letting me do an MPhil. I like the field I'm in and would prefer to stay in a vaguely related area.

You won't be able to bully Magnum.
