Still alive
Mar. 12th, 2012 07:51 pmHaven't posted in a while due to busy, busy and more busy. So a quick update ...
Creative writing course is going OK. I'm waiting for my mark on the poetry assignment (hopefully back tomorrow). Poetry turned out to be more fun than I expected. It's like extreme editing :-) The residential mini course I went on was wonderful. Brilliant tutor and a great bunch of people. Also it was in a Georgian manor house and the food was out of this world. I seriously want to live there and be a full-time student.
Running - yes, I have blown the dust off the trainers. Ran the Milton Keynes half marathon in the most atrocious weather. It started out wet and morphed into wind and snow. I kid you not - SNOW! Gah. Still I finished. Wasn't bothered about how fast as a large chunk of my training involved drinking beer and eating chocolate in Bruges.
Ah yes Bruges - wonderful place. Hubby and I walked miles, visited eight museums in one day, and ate some great food. Our hotel was a laugh a minute - we never knew what services would be working. During the weekend the electricity went off, the water went out, the wifi was iffy at best, one elevator packed up and the swimming pool was permanently out of action. On the plus side the staff were delightful and breakfast was great.
Work is crazy crazy. One step forward, one step back on the building project. Never a dull moment on all fronts. I do enjoy it though being a bit of a chaos junkie.
