    I've spent most of the day hunched over my laptop and am now thoroughly scunnered (fed up). Almost all the evidence for my seven students is in one place apart from the final document which arrived in late this afternoon, I'll assess it tomorrow morning. All the folders for the next two units are made and some info written for the group which will frighten them to death.

    Tomorrow it's more of the same though I'm expecting the electricians to turn up around lunchtime. They are going to install the extension socket in the small barn and, with a bit of luck, add an outside socket to the barn wall if they can drill through it. That'll make it easier for the lawn mower and allow me to have music outside on sunny days, I am anticipating some sunny days!

    Beef korma was lovely, piled on loads of veggies and then made some chocolate custard for pudding.

    Hope all is well with everyone.

    Good evening,

    My mood has not been the best on the market, hence not posting much.

    Still thinking of you all and praying for those of you who have difficult and painful life situations.

    But I cannot really post much about myself because it would be a continuous moan.

    Well, tomorrow I am enrolling in Weight Watchers because due to the last horrible couple of years I have put back all the weight I had lost before, and now with this bad hip I cannot even maintain a decent weight by exercising like I did before.

    Good night.
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).
