Extra Time!

What did you do with your leap second last evening?  Did you use it wisely?  You could be forgiven for not even realising that we'd had one.  I didn't see it trending on Twitter, or hear it being discussed on the BBC News.  Mind, the News was an hour late! Held over for the tennis. 
Baghdatis was robbed in my opinion.  The Wimbledon Commitee are going to have to come to some sort of decision on that roof.  Either close it before the start of a match, or leave it open and take what comes.  Suspending play for 30mins while they put it in place is always going to advantage one player over the other.

Y180 now coming to an end.  I've written the EMA, choosing the Art option, I just have to tweek it and send it off.  Plenty of time, it's not due in until the 19th.  Then I can start on some reading in preparation for A215 in September.  I'm really looking forward to that course.

Can't Believe It's Been So Long!

I've clearly been neglecting my blogging duties. 
Can't think what I've been doing all this time really, other than Y180 and lots of knitting.  Y180 is not as absorbing as A174, but then I knew it wouldn't be.  I took it just as a fill in until A215 starts in September.
So far we've covered Poetry and History.  I'm now on to the second TMA, when that's done we move on to Art.
It's been raining almost non stop for the past few weeks.  Ever since they anounced the hosepipe ban in our area as a matter of fact.  Hence all the knitting.  Also some embroidery.  No chance of gardening.  Well not outside anyway.  My greenhouse is looking good though!

Waiting Again!

A174 is finished!!  My final eTMA went about a week ago, so I'm waiting now for the result.
I've not been idle, though! 
I've launched into a massive re-organisation of my lounge and dining room.  Both are looking much better as a result.  The only downside is that I now have a garage full of stuff waiting to be re-distributed. 
I've booked my next course Y180 - Making Sense of the Arts.  As a confirmed scientist, I'm not sure that the arts are supposed to make sense.  But it is a short course and will fill in the time until my Creative Writing one starts in September.
