For what it's worth, the sun is shining - almost blinding even through the windows and the birds are making the most of the singing weather, unfortunately I'm trapped in the shade. apart from the very pale skin - i am indoors desperately trying to kick myself to do some work. There is a short story called 'Prelude' sitting on my desk that NEEDS to be read today. If I don't read it today I cannot complete the essay and if i don't to do that I can kiss handing it in on time goodbye.

My concentration seems to have gone out the window with everything from the past week pounding away at me like a jack hammer in a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Deep cleansing breaths - that's what I tell everyone else. Deep cleansing breaths.
