some bedtime reading

well, as the faithful readers know i have finished my disseration and if you're daft enough to want to read it just send me an e-mail. it's long so i'm warning you now.

i am feeling better and back on semi-regular food. not quite up to my usual intake of fruits and vegetables, but i'll get there soon no doubt. i met davoud down in coventry last weekend so i could visit with his family, especially his father who's been in hospital since late february. one of the highlights was going to the pub and watching a rare win for liverpool fc over arch rivals manchester united. a nice 4-1 win too!

went to the film 'the class' last night, which was a great portrait of young people in france today. i highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get into the heads of a teacher at a tough school or a 14 year old boy or girl.



i'm off to york this weekend to complete research for one of my last two projects for school - i'm getting there! and then i'll have to get ready for the welcome onslaught of canadian visitors in april. we have a week free just in case anybody is keen to hop on an airplane...
