Ahhhh long time no write.

I have been away, mainly due to the unseasonal workload of the OU degree and the OU Astronomy summer school........what a laugh, very very hard work but learnt lots........also managed to break so much stuff!! Not just me I might add but the small group I was in.

Track record of breakages for the week: 2 astronomical domes, 2 telescopes, 1 CCD camera, 1 table, 1 chair, 4 computers and......a bus. Will they ever have anohter summer school back?

So how am I doing on this list? and how do I know how much time I have on my countdown? This might be something that I add as soon as I find out ( possibly from the dayzeroproject).

76) DONE
send a favourite book to a freind with a note inside: can't remember if I did update this, but I bought the Timetraveller's wife for a friend.

100) DONE
Make a non exploding spounge cake: why did I pick this? well the last one I made was rising nicely in the oven, I opened the door and it exploded!
This time I used a kids recipe and, hey, it worked!

28) Ongoing
Re read all the Jane Autin novels: am currently reading persusion, also am still not convinced. But we shall see.
I have Emma and North hanger abby lined up

92) Ongoing
Am still budgeting and sticking to it, this is something that I hope to keep doing even when the time is up.

And how am I feeling about all of this?
Not too bad, it helps me focus and we shall see............

53) did try and call in to see my friend but NO ANSWER......i really wish she wouldn't keep changing her phone numbers....oh well will have to try again.
93) there are words for this.....time for race 3:11...which is 2 mins faster than last time but means that for next year I have to knock 20 mins off. This can be done as I managed 15 off last year.

Only reason I haven't managed is recovering from injury.

Am getting there I think.

43) DONE:Little sis came down on Sunday and this morning we had a photo shoot with us and the kids-pics to follow ( they're not bad but have realsied just how thin i look!) not good at all

53) (i think) will be making the trip back to do 93) and will call in to see some friends ...its a good 3 hrs journey but haven't seen them since March this year so will make the effort to call in

93) watch this space............race is on Saturday as am not grading for Tae kwon do have decided to run Roman run so hope to get in at 2:45...................................to be continued!
