This was a day in three parts. First came a couple of requests for quotes, which is always nice as it gives me hope that work will continue and I won’t starve, a perpetual fear for a freelancer. One of these was from an organisation in Kenya, so I was especially pleased as I do […]
Two busy days
I had two busy days, having taken rather more than one could complete in a normal working day, so I was drowned in words. The best thing that has come out of the past days is probably that I am now fully clear on differences between youth, youths, etc. Basically, here’s the deal: youth singular, […]
What happened long ago
I spent the whole day in the flat yesterday, as editing had come in (a dissertation on migration). I can’t say it felt a particularly productive day, as I was scattered and found it hard to concentrate, and I could hardly bear to think about my memory room story. That is an odd side of […]
Finished
A quiet sort of working day. The Gentleman Friend went into the office for much of the day so I had the flat to myself and later wento to a cafe for the better intenret. The internet in the flat is usually ok for browsing and downloading, but even attaching a 30kb document to an […]
Working day
Monday was our first working day and occurred in two parts: first at the Urbanista cafe, accompanied by a croissant and coffee. Then I came home to make a quick lunch which turned out not to be so quick as the stove is powered by a gas cannister and it took me some time to […]
Night and day
Night and day is how i’ve been working, sadly, with all that was piled up over the past week or two when much time was spent packing. And now, back to work.
Milk to China
Our boxes have arrived on British shores and are now making their way through customs. I went on the website to pay the final delivery fee and my attention was caught by the little advertisement for sending baby milk to China. Sensible, I suppose. Does make one think of how there are so many more […]
Still to the grinder
Another day of nothing but work, with intermissions only to do so cleaning/ tidying in the spare room where I’m keeping a couple of visitors from this Saturday. My face eczema is back, possibly because I steamed my sinuses rather too vigorously last night.
Nose to the grinder
I have spent the day working away, and got quite a lot done despite this ugly little cough of mine. At dinnertime, the English Teacher popped in with her two children who put on a show. They are very well behaved so it didn’t last long. There were supposed to be a pair of accountants […]
Masters hunt
Woe is me, the psoriasis is back. I should perhaps have not stopped using the medicine. In better news, I got a small contract, a rush job that I hope will lead to more work in the months to come. It also has me looking for education masters degrees. Sadly, having lived outside the UK […]
