So the final assignment for E301 has been submitted and received by the Open University. I can finally pack the books away. It has been a fascinating and challenging course and I don't regret having taken it, even though it was bloody hard at times!
Onwards now to writing again. But I decided to take this week off. On Monday I wandered around charity shops in search of play scripts and screenplays, as the Advanced Creative Writing course concentrates on drama in all forms as well as poetry and prose. I sat in Starbucks and had a coffee. I took the bus home in the sunshine. Yesterday I huddled indoors, feeling the cold. I started to tidy the house. I read lots of blogs and surfed the web. I did a little knitting. I dragged son 1 out of bed at lunchtime.
Today I went to the parent support coffee morning and managed to fall flat on my face in Tesco's carpark. Life goes on as usual...
Three notable things:
1. We continue to celebrate the tiny steps son 2 is making in his communication. On Saturday he told his music therapist that it was time to finish by pointing at her watch and then at the door.
2. I've had a bank account with Lloyds TSB since I was 18. Should I be worried?
3. Sarah Palin's political ineptitude is astounding. It would be funny if it weren't for the fact that she could end up a heartbeat away from being President of the USA.

Hi - take a look at www.plays4theatre.com - it may help
I have an antiquarian bookshop in the tiny town where I work - must seek out some scrips too. Eek. What have we let ourselves in for?
Knitting and falling over sounds a strange but arty combo!
Don't worry about the Lloyds thing. It was people panicking and taking all their money out that made the Northern Rock collapse.
Of course, if you have more than £35k in there, it would be prudent to move the excess elsewhere, but I've NEVER had that problem....
have you started the course yet? I've done a bit, but really didn't like the first story. Felt like a bad start! I have been blessed with a GREAT tutor group though - we're already meeting for coffee on Saturday!
SS...yes falling over is one of my party tricks, lol
b...I've read a couple of chapters but my brain is still mush from E301, so I don't think I'll even try to write anything for a few days! Glad you've got a good tutor group too, only about half of mine have turned up in the forum yet.
Cathy, I do hope you're not hurt? Well, other than your pride; we can cope with a bruise there...
