Fairly random stuff so you know something about me


In 2011

(which is a prime number)

I plan to:

1 - finish my children's book about Pyder the spider (DONE)

2 - finish my other book, the grown up fun one! (WIP)

3 - read 'The Pickwick Papers' (DONE)

4 - celebrate Tigers winning the Heineken Cup (sadly this wasn't to be ☹)

5 - celebrate England winning the World Cup (the less said the better ☹)

6 - and lots of other stuff 

 

So far I have discovered:

Mahler

the Immersion edition of 'The Dark Side of the Moon'

lovely laughter

how much I like the poetry of W B Yeats 

 the Immersion edition of 'Wish You Were Here'

 

 In 2010

1 - I discovered the poet Paul Verlaine

2 - I realised how much I like the works of Picasso

3 - no black monoliths near Jupiter (as yet)

4 - I broke my elbow

5 - I travelled abroad more than I've ever done (Canada 3 times, Hong Kong, Orlando, Rome, Spain, Paris, The Hague, Edinburgh, Barbados)
