I reading this book at the moment,
it's one of those "throw you in at the deep end" ones with a very alien world, hundreds of new creatures, places and concepts to comprehend. I'm enjoying it, but it's quite hard work. Do you love it when words you've never seen written down before appear regularly? The last time this happened for me was Umberto Eco I think, had to keep a notebook.
Might have to pick up something more relaxing today for when I'm tired.

Had a cool dream last night. I was at school/university in an English lesson. The female teacher was jumping from subject to subject, asking questions and then not letting anyone answer and basically not providing a very coherent lesson, which was annoying me. Suddenly she said she was going to show us a film which cheered me up.

It was projected onto a big white screen at the back of the room, it was Siouxsie Sioux and Budgie singing a song I'd never heard before, in a refectory somewhere. Siouxsie was wearing a lemon coloured minidress with a peach cardigan draped around her shoulders and Budgie was looking super cute. They were both really young, teenagers I think. There was some screaming at the end, kind of punky, but that's all I remember. In the dream, I was singing along, entranced by the song and decided that the teacher wasn't so bad after all.



Wonder if it exists? Siouxsie can even look good in yellow velvet, what a woman.

Ah the divine Ms S - I named my black cat after her 20 years ago. If I wear yellow, I look like I have a kidney complaint :-)

yes, I look jaundiced too. It must suit someone, not sure who though (apart from Siouxsie). How is the recovery coming along? Hope you're regaining your energy.

Getting There

I have gone back to doing my English, primarily because I had good grades and I didn't want to sit through this all again at my own expense next academic year.

Must admit, it has all but polished me off. I am exhausted. I spent 4 hours on Tuesday writing a 1st person narrative, a talk (Room 101 and what I would put in it) and a rold play sequence where I had to play a reformed drug addict (do not underestimate my need for cake LOL). Spent the following day in bed!!! Recovering though and I have to look down the barrel of a 4 hour stint re Romeo and Juliet :-D

Good luck with the Romeo and Juliet, I'm sure you'll do a good job of it when you are revived by cake. I had need of a chocolate muffin on Friday and my lovely manager bought one for me, felt much better afterwards.
