...and haven't posted for ages.
Anyway.
Books read:
Notes from an Exhibition - Patrick Gale
Slam - Nick Hornby
The Savage Garden - Mark Mills
The Death and Life of Charlie St Cloud - Ben Sherwood
Pretty certain I've read another one as well but can't remember what it was. Must have made an impression! I fancy joining a book group to make me a bit more committed to reading. Hmm. Currently reading: Homage to Barcelona by Colm Toibin.
Can't even begin to list the films I've seen as it has been the ¡Viva! Spanish film festival recently but I think I saw 9 films during that time, the highlights of which were Aperecidos, El Hombre de Arena and La Mujer del anarquista. I've also seen Rachel Getting Married, Anvil! The Story of Anvil, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, I Love You, Man and Wendy and Lucy - phew! This is why I need to update more...
I have finished my first assessment on my Understanding Children course, got a very good mark. Just doing the second piece of work now and then will move on to Starting With Psychology in June. Am also doing a free course in Health and Nutrition through www.vision2learn.com
Final piece of blog news - I AM NOW DEBT FREE! I can cross that one off my list - hooray!
