Busy week/weekend.

 I've been beavering away with my OU studyies. I'm ahead of myself now and am taking a break until Saturday when I will begin Unit 4 - First Impressions of poetry. I'm not looking forward to it as I struggle with poetry and have never studied it before.

During the rest of this week, I will be studying 'Grammar', which I struggle with. I don't know my nouns from my verbs nor my adverbs from my adjectives etc!. I don't remember doing it at school nor since. I've written over 50 features for leaisure and lifestyle magazines, so I must be doing something right!

Yesterday, I bought a new printer. My old one was playing up. I'm pleased with the new one, a Canon Pixma 2600.
