Oh well I tried studying BA English part-time. But it wasn’t for me although I guess that trying to studying English when I can only read with one eye was slightly mad. Add to that my other health conditions and it was a choice of study and no other life or enjoy life but don’t study. I did the former for my first degree and PhD. I wouldn’t change that for anything but my priorities have now changed. But I still haven’t given up!! Oh no I might keep needing to change paths but will keep going. So in January I will continue on my goal of writing novels. The Guardians of Ormaton Abbey will get finished! In the meantime my life is about fun, fun, fun and lots of drugs – aka by others as prescription medication, but not let’s spoil it with the detail. Well what fun I’ve had. A stay at the Randolph, including drinks in the Morse Bar and breakfast at The Ashmoleum Museum. VIPS tickets for one of David Essex’s farewell concerts, then a meet up with Paul Hollywood and Michele Roux Junior. Wow so good and so exciting. Then a much needed restful weekend of Mum and Dad visiting and babysitting the mad Labradoodle aka Chewbacca but in real life called Sammy. In between this I got my hair dramatically cut and transformed from brown/blonde to red – fitting the cliche of new life new hair. And what about the poms poms, well let’s just say that the green version in the photo is mine but, as always, if at first I don’t succeed then I will try again.
