I wish I could have finished my post from yesterday before the announcement of European mainland tour reschedules as I truly lost my train of thought as soon as I saw that. And my post was leading somewhere, even though it diverged off into one of my usual tangents. I wanted to share this picture….
This week has been an iffy week with study. But that’s nothing new. It seems to be a trend. My first week, the introductory week – I felt I had a handle on things. I knew my way around the OU site well enough, as I had been familiarising myself with it as much as…

Sunday – study good, but slightly doubtful. Monday – study better, buoyant and full of optimism. Tuesday – study free day. Went for a walk. Felt good.

Almost every day I feel the need to write. But I need to have a purpose. A reason. An objective. I’ve never been good with a blank page. Sitting at a piece of blank paper, pen in hand. Or sitting at a computer with a blank word processing page staring back at me. It’s taken…
