Random Notes

March is almost over, and the world continues to spin, despite the prophecies of doom you can find in most opinion outlets. Hasn't it been an odd few months?

April looms, with the full burden of Daylight Savings Time - again, again, again - making itself felt, and tax day peaking through the mists of time in the very near future! Hurrah? Being self-employed and very simple organised, tax return day is almost a complete non-event. I sometimes wonder what machinations are being are being performed to make this a difficult process, but perhaps there are complications which can not be imagined... Maybe some companies need to get refunds because their paperclips are made of radium? It's mystifying.

'Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea' is playing to one side, a great diffuser of attention at the tailend of a day that has seen far too much concentration, and a lovely stack of books awaits. Ah, if only that could be the activity every day and all day... There's something very restful about a lovely stack of books. Even now, a grand wish list of further volumes is growing ever longer. Oh, such marvelous volumes!

It's nice to relax slightly, for a very short time, after frantically catching up with OU work to submit an assignment. Next, it will be time to catch up with the other module, and knock out all the remaining coursework for the whole year as quickly and well as possible. It will be another few hectic weeks, then the tension of GCSE season for my stress-maddened students, and then a glorious summer of story finishing. Yes, stories! Stories!

How's that for a plan?
