May: non-teaching term month 1

Incremental progress throughout May; as usual, non-teaching terms are much less of a grind.

April: end-of-term slog

April has overall been a real grind, with an attempted paper submission and now grading. We had one trip to Christchurch, where our planned objective got rained out, but we still did a bunch of elevation gain (though not much distance, which means steep ascents).
