I did all I intended to, except I only meditated once. Did housework, and went for cycle with John. Lovely morning.

 Studied in the afternoon. Now on Chapter Two- a week ahead - and went to Hull Fair in the evening with Viewfinders. On the way to David’s I stopped to take sunset photo of Drax power station. How can something so terrible be so beautiful.

Hull Fair was so impressive. It’s the biggest travelling funfair in Europe.Great atmosphere.Several young people stopped and asked me to take their photos, and then wanted to know where they would appear! Here are a few photos, but I have so many more.

It’s Monday, so it must be housework. And Viewfinders. And lots of plans for the week ahead.

First, on Saturday we had a really good Day School for the OU. Nice people. I surprised John by managing to pay in a cheque to the PO, get the paper, and get the outstanding wall lights from Argos.

Sunday, I ‘did’ the children’s liturgy, and had to do a fair bit of shopping in the Coop on the way home, as I’d forgotten I was out all day Saturday. In the late afternoon I just had to get some fresh air. John wouldn’t come out, so I went for a walk. J said, yes, safer than cycling as it was windy, but I fell down a rabbit hole on the way home. I didn’t end up in Wonderland, so no ideas for a story.

Anyway, tonight at Viewfinders we are going to Hull Fair. That’s not the kind of photography I usually do, so it should be fun. Hope the weather stays fine.

And today, I’m starting A363, Creative Writing, in earnest. I have a plot for my first assignment. I just need to transform it into a concrete story.

And as I was 11stone 2  this morning, I am also going to cut out biscuits and exercise more.

And…. and….. and…..

Oh I love Mondays.

BTW Fiona is over half way through with her pregnancy. Yay!
