Did you know it took over a year for me to get Lirael?I'm glad i waited, it's an excellent book, pity i have to wait for abhorsen now! It's a pity though the the coverart is different to my US copy of Sabriel. I like both, but i like to have them match!

New Years Day, i should be cycling in Lichfield with the Atkin family. Trouble is, i think my tyres are flat and my bike is too big to put in my car...and i dismantled the bike carrier. I would cycle over to their house (i've done it before) but with flat tyres that's a bit difficult. The nearest train station is the one by their house, and i don't think bikes are allowed on buses. I'll have to think a bit more.

I'm planning on having a birthday party this year. Trouble is my birthday (and thus Valentines day is Saturday). Since most of my friends are married, i would expect that no-one will come. But i guess, if i send out the invites early enough...

New Years Resolutions. I think i'm going to make a pact with myself to go on a speedating event every other month. One a month is probably too many given my OU commitments.

I will also go to the Gym. I won't say more, as i haven't really gone for the last month.

I moved a few things around in my living room, and i know have my small two seater sofa by the tv and the one seater by where the door to the dining room should be. This means that they can all now face inwards. if i had friends it would be a great place to chat.

I started work on tma02 - first 70 words are done. If i do 50 words a day, i should finish it just in time to hand it in! I'm also mixing in some Latin vocab learning when i get bored. I am on section 1B of my Latin, but haven't learnt the vocab for the previous sections. I am determined this time that i will learn both that and the grammar properly. The present tense for the 1st form came back very quickly. Hopefully i will get together with Mel for some chanting sessions...amo ams amat...

The second part of At272 is not quite so interesting to me, which is probably why I put off doing the TMA. Oh well, that's what evenings are for. I'll probably do some more tonight. "Castaway" is on, which seems like a good film to try and write 100 words too.
