I got my results back for my latest assignment which saw me inch up another 1% to 67%. I’m getting there, really slowly but I’m determined to break the 70% barrier. I have one more assignment for the 18th October, which goes to the actual uni for another tutor to mark. After which I get [...]
In a right panic I was, when on the TransPennine train down to Manchester from Edinburgh last week, in the middle of reading my Kindle a message popped up that the power was running low. Because trains have electrical outlets now for charging your mobile phone and plugging in your laptop, I took advantage of [...]
With permission. The rain seems to be determined to follow me down to Manchester from Edinburgh, but it didn’t dampen the spirits of my booking with El-Tel yesterday. If he were an animal he’d be an exuberant pup. After a bit of a false start where he turned up over half an hour late (I [...]
….I screamed when I was in the taxi on my way to the station this morning. The bemused taxi driver had no choice but to turn the car around so I could go back and get it. He hadn’t heard of a Kindle (I know!!) so I showed him when I got back in the [...]
I didn’t think the results would be posted so soon, but I’ve just come back from a lunch date with a friend and I’ve had a peek at the OU website and I’ve managed another “clear pass”, 66%. I’m very pleased considering how manic I was trying to get it all done in three days. [...]
Okay, not long until I’m in Edinburgh next week. An added bonus for me because I’ve finalised details for Twiggy to come visit me there, as he wasn’t able to come to his usual haunt in Manchester. I have one other booking for late Tuesday afternoon after I’ve checked in but one more would be [...]
I managed to complete and send off my assignment with a day to spare. It was an intense three days, not just writing the essay but the side excersises required to complete the assignment. I took the day off from my Other Job on Monday to ensure it was done. You know, I even had [...]
It’s a relaxing day today (well, as much relaxing as you can do when you have to go to the hairdresser’s, then do the shopping afterwards because you came home to very little food in the house). I had a wonderful time in Glasgow as usual and I’m still planning on visiting again at the [...]
After the good news of my first assignment on Friday put me in a bouyant mood, I had a couple of lovely bookings at Earl’s Court that same afternoon. One was a chap from India who comes to the UK every year to watch Wimbledon – I had seen him this time last year. He [...]
A couple of lovely appointments was had this week, including a late night visit to one of my clients from the early days. I’ve been seeing this chap since my first year in 2002. He’s from Barcelona and comes over on business every few months. But on the last occassion he wanted to see me [...]
