all five horizons

Am back from Italy and we had a blast. Many photos were taken and I am sure I will be sharing them with you just as soon as I have organised them! Now I am back, I have to get back to work, start seriously getting stuck onto my new course and of course, catch up on all my stories. We are finally getting our carpets fitted on Tuesday so today and tomorrow we have to clear the whole upstairs of all furniture and carpet. Plus Rich is painting the ceilings before the new carpet goes in (we were intending to have all the walls painted too but that was not to be!).

Anyway, busy busy lots to do as always. I shall leave you with this picture which made me laugh so hard. I actually scrolled down only part way when I saw it for the first time and I exclaimed “that is the best cat I have ever seen!” before fully appreciating the hilarity of the sign. Enjoy!

I just checked my Open University student home page to see if my result had been published for the gazillionth time and it had! And I had passed! I really should not be surprised (well, to be honest I am not) but I am still very pleased all the same. This course was a level 1 course which equates to a first year university course. As such, it was easier than the other 3 courses I have done so far which were all level 2. Even so, there were new topics (philosophy, music, history) and I put in my usual amount of effort (i.e. not nearly as much as I should) so I am pleased with this result. I want to try to get as prepared as I can for the next course (Advanced Creative Writing - my first level 3 course) by getting some ‘proper’ writing done before October. In the meatime, I really should be enjoying my OU break since I will be moaning about having to get assignments done in no time.
