The analysis section

I decided today to try to put the analysis section of the dissertation together from all the bits and pieces I already have. I ended up with over 6,000 words. They won't all make it into the final version but that's well on the way to my 12,500, which will also include introduction, conclusion, data acquisition and the dreaded literature review.

I've merged the three manual analyses - Marianne, Manhattan and Going Home because there are common features and it saves word count. I have started looking at the keywords 'he' and 'his'. There is a lurking 'other man' in 'the stranger song', 'the master song' and 'one of us cannot be wrong'. These are all from Cohen's early period, so I have produced files of his early, middle and later lyrics and tomorrow I will do some analysis of whether there is a difference in the use of these pronouns over time.

The apple crumble was very good.

How could anybody make a mess of an apple crumble?

Cooking all day today because we are taking food to TSH's daughter to help out when she is busy with the new arrival. TSH's fish pie looks great but my apple crumble exploded all over the oven. My excuse is that its gluten free and it cooks differently. But its a pathetic excuse. I've topped the crumble topping up with some spare I had in the freezer but I'm not sure it will cook when I warm up the rest gently. Am I past it?

My brownies and my nut roast look OK.

No Cohen today.
