Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope those who celebrate Christmas are sitting back on the couch with a full belly… and I’m sure the rest of you are enjoying life without the Christmas shopping traffic🙂

This post is just a short note to let you know that the Thesis Whisperer will be off air from Christmas through to the end of January.

I’m having a longer break this year because Mr Thesiswhisperer, Thesiswhisperer Jnr and I will be moving house from Melbourne to Canberra – some 500kms away. We’re looking forward to the end of my #FIFOacademic life and to having the family back together again. So I’ll be unpacking boxes and exploring Canberra. While we are on break I am still happy to receive guest posts – have a read of our About page to find out how you can contribute to the Whisperer.

Our first post for 2014 will appear on the 29th of January. I hope to see you again – safe and well – in the new year. In the meantime, if you are a new visitor, have a look through our top ten most popular posts of 2013:
